What is your take on the Imprecatory (as some call them) Psalms? (ie Psa 109, 137)
Imprecatory means that they contain curses to others. In my commentaries, there is debate as to whether these are curses made by David or if they are quoted curses by his enemies. Traditionally, they appear to be taken as curses by David, hence the term "imprecatory". Newer writers seem to be taking other stances, though. I appreciate your thoughts on this subject.
Thanks,
Dave
