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 May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24 Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.
