Psalms 83, 137, 79, 129, 149

PsalmsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg examines imprecatory Psalms, which involve wishing evil upon someone, and explains that they are not motivated by personal sense of spite, jealousy, or anger. Rather, these psalms express a desire to see wicked men punished for violating God's laws and to see justice done. Overall, the psalmists are not hate-filled or vindictive but rather seek to give God glory by acknowledging that He rewards goodness and punishes wickedness.
