Psalms 69:27
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.
Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.
28 May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.
29 But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.
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.
