Yahweh promised to curse those who curse Abraham and imprecations are based on Yahweh’s covenant with Abraham and Israel .Imprecations aren’t a barbaric residue, but express fundamental biblical convictions about God and the world. When we pray for justice, we’re praying for God to be what he truly is the Judge of all the earth. Imprecatory psalms ground us in the real world, counteracting our instinct for over-spiritualized, anodyne, Pollyannaish piety . Hoe many times do you pray to your God ?
