What Does Psalms 69:27 Mean?
'Add iniquity unto their iniquity'—their guilt accumulates. Rather than seeking repentance, they spiral deeper into wrongdoing, and the psalmist asks God to let this accumulation continue. Each act of cruelty layers more sin upon them.
'Let them not come into thy righteousness'—they shall be excluded from God's righteous judgment and redemption. This is the ultimate exclusion: not merely from the psalmist's good opinion but from God's path to righteousness and restoration.
