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 table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;

23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.

24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

25 Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.

26 For they persecute him whom *thou* hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
