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 upon them,

David appeals to God to judge those who have rejected His authority and persecuted His servant. Their hostility is not merely personal; it stands against God’s covenant purposes and the righteous cause David represents. God’s wrath expresses His holy response to persistent rebellion and evil.

Jer 10:25 For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him…
Psa 79:6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge…
Ezk 22:31 So I have poured out My indignation upon them…

and let Your burning anger overtake them.

The petition asks for judgment that cannot be escaped or resisted. Throughout Scripture, God’s consuming anger falls upon those who harden themselves against Him, vindicating the righteous and bringing evil to account. David entrusts vengeance to the Lord, anticipating the final judgment in which God will decisively defeat all opposition to His rule.

Psa 78:49 He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation…
Zep 3:8 Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “until the day…
Isa 30:27 Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar,…
