Psalm 69
1. David complains of his affliction
13. He prays for deliverance
22. He devotes his enemies to destruction
30. He praises God with thanksgiving














Pour out Your wrath
The phrase "Pour out Your wrath" in Psalm 69:24 is a plea for divine justice. The Hebrew word for "wrath" here is "chemah," which conveys a sense of intense anger or fury. In the context of the Psalms, this is often a call for God to act against the wickedness and injustice that the psalmist is experiencing. Historically, the Israelites understood God's wrath as a righteous response to sin and rebellion. This plea reflects a deep trust in God's moral governance and His ultimate authority to judge rightly.

upon them
The phrase "upon them" indicates the specific target of God's wrath. In the context of Psalm 69, "them" refers to the psalmist's enemies, those who have wronged or persecuted him. This is not a general call for destruction but a request for justice against those who have acted wickedly. The psalmist's appeal is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is seen as the protector and avenger of His faithful ones.

and let Your burning anger
"Burning anger" is a vivid depiction of God's intense displeasure with sin. The Hebrew word "af" often translated as "anger," can also mean "nostrils," suggesting the image of flaring nostrils in anger. This anthropomorphic language helps convey the seriousness with which God views sin and injustice. In the biblical narrative, God's anger is not capricious but is always directed towards restoring righteousness and justice.

overtake them
The phrase "overtake them" suggests a complete and inescapable judgment. The Hebrew root "nasag" implies catching up with or reaching someone. This reflects the biblical theme that no one can escape God's justice. It serves as a sobering reminder of the certainty of divine retribution for those who persist in wickedness. The psalmist's confidence in God's justice is a source of hope and reassurance for believers, affirming that evil will not ultimately prevail.

Verse 24. - Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. At any rate, be angry with them, and show thine anger in some way or other. Let them net escape scatheless. A general malediction, after which the writer returns to particulars.
