Psalm 69:22-28
Those who oppose God and afflict the righteous will ultimately face the just judgment of God, who defends His servant and upholds righteousness.
22 Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.
24 Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
27 Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
Those who oppose God and afflict the righteous will ultimately face the just judgment of God, who defends His servant and upholds righteousness.
To call upon God to enact righteous judgment against those who persist in hostility toward the righteous and reject God’s ways.
Zeal, Reproach, and the Saving God Who Rebuilds Zion
God hears the reproached sufferer who bears shame for His sake, judges wicked hostility, and turns affliction into praise and Zion hope.
