A Prayer for Divine Judgment (Imprecation)

Psalms 69:22-29

Let their dining table before them become a snare; when they are at peace, let it become a trap;

let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and let their bodies always be stumbling.

Pour out your fury on them, let your fierce anger overtake them.

Let the place where they live be desolate, with no one to live in their tents,

for persecuting someone you had already stricken, for adding to the pain of those you wounded.

Add guilt to their guilt, don't let them enter your righteousness.

Erase them from the book of life, let them not be written with the righteous.

Meanwhile, I am afflicted and hurting; God, let your saving power raise me up.
