Psalms 69:24
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.
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.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
