If we are not taught the language of the heart by God, we develop an image of a person that is not entirely accurate. So even though we think that the Psalmist is being judgmental and mean, the truth is the Psalmist has no authority to pronounce a curse according to what he thinks about a person based on the legal arguments in the Psalms. Only God has the right to take vengeance. This leaves us completely neutral in our judgments because the curses kill our desire to judge.We are trying to put ourselves in a position where we can be judged by God. We believe that we deserve to be cursed because we are blessed, and those who are cursed are without hope. We both share in a total inability to change our situation.And in this understanding we have pronounced the line of cursing and blessing. We believe that God is glory and we have given them a little rest in acknowledging their hopelessness and the need for God. In this way we have a heart to heart relationship.
