Paradox #1
Psalms 69:27 could be seen as conflicting with the New Testament's teachings on forgiveness and loving your enemies. While the verse expresses a desire for severe punishment, the New Testament often emphasizes mercy, forgiveness, and loving actions toward others, even those who do wrong. This can create a tension between calls for justice in the Old Testament and calls for forgiveness in the New Testament.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea of asking for harm or punishment on others, which could seem inconsistent with other teachings in the Bible about forgiveness and love for enemies.
