Have you ever hoped for bad things to happen to the bad people in your life? If you write a song about that sentiment, it is called an imprecatorypsalm.
Fortunately, we have some New Testament light to shed on this sentiment. You may be familiar with how Jesus wishes us to treat our enemies: Love them, pray for them, and bless them. We do vengeance so very poorly. We'd best leave the vengeance for God alone.
