Psalm 69:28
“Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 69Meaning
The imprecation reaches an extreme before the poem returns to the speaker's own need and praise.
Imprecation against persecutors
Severe ancient judgment language entrusts hostile wrong to God and is not a mandate for private violence.
Read carefully
It does not authorize private revenge, vigilantism, persecution, political or religious violence, or collective punishment.
Reflection
Do not act on wishes of annihilation; seek safe distance, lawful accountability, and wise support.
