Psalms 69:28 meaning and explanation

May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.

Psalms 69:28, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Psalm 69 is David's lament, and in verse 28 he asks God to blot his persecutors from the Book of Life, the register of the living that Scripture pictures God keeping. In context this is an imprecation, a plea that those who persecute God's servant be excluded from the community of the righteous rather than share its blessings.
