On April 2 and 9, we had two animated virtual discussions (using Zoom) of the proper way to view "Imprecatory Psalms," those where David calls on God to punish his enemies. I want to think everyone that contributed. Definitely gave me a lot to think about. Three key questions we discussed:
3. How should we think about David’s call for curses upon his enemies? Example from Psalm 109 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, ... 15 … Blot out their name from the earth.
