Psalms 69:24

Compare all

22 ^aLet their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.

23 ^aLet their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.

24 ^aPour out Your indignation upon them,
And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.

25 ^aLet their dwelling place be desolate;
Let no one live in their tents.

26 For they persecute the ones ^aYou have struck,
And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.

Psalms 69:24

Pour out thine indignation upon them - That is, Punish them for their sins; or, do justice to them.

And let thy wrathful anger - literally, "the burning of thy wrath;" glow of anger; burning wrath. See Numbers 25:4; Numbers 32:14, I Samuel 28:18. This is undoubtedly a petition that God would visit them with the severity of his indignation; or, it expresses the belief of the psalmist that they "deserved" such tokens of his displeasure.

Take hold of them - Seize upon them; overtake them when they expect to escape.
