Psalms 69:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:24

Pour out thine indignation upon them
Not a few drops of it only, but a flood of it, sweeping away and bearing down all before it; which was done when wrath came upon them to the uttermost, in the destruction of their city, temple, and nation, ( 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ) ;

let thy wrathful anger take hold of them;
follow after them, overtake them, seize upon them, and hold them fast, that they may not escape. It denotes the severity of God towards them; the fierceness and fury of his wrath upon them; and that their destruction would be inevitable, and an entire and utter one.

Psalms 69:24 In-Context

22 Let their dining table before them become a snare; when they are at peace, let it become a trap;
23 let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and let their bodies always be stumbling.
24 Pour out your fury on them, let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 Let the place where they live be desolate, with no one to live in their tents,
26 for persecuting someone you had already stricken, for adding to the pain of those you wounded.
