 If we are not taught by God how to interpret other people's hearts, then we develop an inaccurate image of that person. Even though we may think the Psalmist is being judgmental and mean, the truth is that without God's guidance, the Psalmist has no authority to pronounce a curse based on his own personal opinions. Only God has the right to take vengeance, which leaves us completely neutral in our judgements, since the curses kill our desire to judge.We are trying to put ourselves in a position before God where we are both blessed and cursed. Those who are cursed are without hope, but we both share in the total inability to change our circumstances. In this understanding, we have pronounced the line of cursing and blessing. We glory in God, and we have given them a little rest by acknowledging their hopelessness and the need for God. In this way, we have a heart to heart relationship.
