Commentary on Psalms 5:10
David's prayer for judgment is not personal vengeance but a call for divine justice. 'Let them fall by their own counsels' invokes the principle of retributive justice - the wicked trap themselves in their schemes (Psalm 7:15-16). The 'multitude of their transgressions' and their rebellion ('rebelled against thee') show these are not innocent victims but covenant violators. Such imprecatory prayers are legitimate when God's people call on Him to execute His threatened judgments against unrepentant rebels, ultimately pointing to the final judgment.
