“Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.” (Psalm 35:4)

Cursing Psalms present an interesting dilemma for the church that is taught to love their enemies.  One reading is to view these curses as the honest expression of an ancient Hebrew crying with angst and passion to God – true feelings apart from what a Christian ought to do.  Another reading is to put it into the spiritual realm where it is always acceptable to wish for Satan’s destruction.  Regardless of how one approaches this, one can always rest assured that God knows who the true enemies are (those rushing headlong to destroy God’s people) and that ultimately God will make things right.
