Imprecations - ‘curses’ - prayers from

David for evil to fall on his enemies.

It’s Messianic:

Psalm 69:4 – John 15:23-25 23 "He who

hates Me hates My Father also. 24 "If I

had not done among them the works

which no one else did, they would not

have sin; but now they have both seen

and hated Me and My Father as well. 25

"But they have done this in order that the

word may be fulfilled that is written in

their Law, 'They hated Me without a

cause.'

Psalm 69: 9 – John 2:15-17 15 And He

made a scourge of cords, and drove

them all out of the temple, with the

sheep and the oxen; and He poured out

the coins of the moneychangers, and

overturned their tables; 16 and to those

who were selling the doves He said,

"Take these things away; stop making My

Father's house a house of merchandise." 17 His disciples remembered that it was

written, "Zeal for Thy house will consume

me."

Psalm 69: 9 – Romans 15:1-3 Now we

who are strong ought to bear the

weaknesses of those without strength

and not just please ourselves. 2 Let each

of us please his neighbor for his good, to

his edification. 3 For even Christ did not

please Himself; but as it is written, "The

reproaches of those who reproached

You fell upon Me."

Psalm 69: 20-21 – Matthew 27:34 they gave

Him wine to drink mingled with gall; and after

tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

John 19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all

things had already been accomplished, in

order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty." 29 A jar full of sour wine was

standing there; so they put a sponge full of

the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop, and brought it up to His mouth. 30When Jesus

therefore had received the sour wine, He

said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head,

and gave up His spirit.

It’s Imprecatory:

Psalm 69:22-23 – Romans 11:7-11

Psalm 69:24 – Revelation 16:1

Psalm 69:25 – Matthew 23:37-38

Psalm 69:25 – Acts 1:20

Psalm 69:28 – Revelation 20:15

Psalm 69:22-23 – Romans 11:7-10 7 What

then? That which Israel is seeking for, it

has not obtained, but those who were

chosen obtained it, and the rest were

hardened; 8 just as it is written, "God

gave them a spirit of stupor, Eyes to see

not and ears to hear not, Down to this

very day." 9 And David says, "Let their

table become a snare and a trap, And a

stumbling block and a retribution to

them. 10 "Let their eyes be darkened to

see not, And bend their backs forever."

Psalm 69:24 – Revelation 16:1 And I

heard a loud voice from the temple,

saying to the seven angels, "Go and

pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth."

Psalm 69:25 – Matthew 23:37-38 37 "O

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the

prophets and stones those who are sent

to her! How often I wanted to gather

your children together, the way a hen

gathers her chicks under her wings, and

you were unwilling. 38 "Behold, your

house is being left to you desolate!”

Psalm 69:25 – NAS Acts 1:16 "Brethren, the

Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the

Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David

concerning Judas, who became a guide

to those who arrested Jesus. …………………… 20 "For it is written in the book of Psalms,

'Let his homestead be made desolate,

And let no man dwell in it';

and, 'His office let another man take.‘ (Ps

109:8)

Psalm 69:28 – Revelation 20:15 And

anyone not found written in the book of

life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Understanding Imprecatory Prayers:

The placement in Scripture

The perspective of the psalmist

The principles of judgment

The perspective of the psalmist

1. His enemies have paid back his good will

toward them with evil.

2. His persecutors have no reason for

perpetrating their evil upon him.

3. He recognizes that his suffering is for the

Lord’s sake.

4. While his confidence in men has been

shattered, his faith in God and His goodness

remain intact.

The principles of judgment

We can expect the Lord to contend with

those who do us harm.

The devices of the wicked are self-

desctructive.

God is asked to repay the wicked measure

for measure.

The reproach of the psalmist’s enemies did

not stand on its own but was rooted in a

deep defiance of God Himself.

The enemies are depicted in a way that it is

clear that they live as if there is no God.

Deuteronomy 32:35 'Vengeance is Mine, and

retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For

the day of their calamity is near, And the

impending things are hastening upon them.'

Romans 12:19 Do not avenge yourselves,

dear friends, but give place to God's wrath,

for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will

repay," says the Lord.
