Commentary on Psalms 55:9
David's imprecatory prayer for divine confusion of enemies recalls the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:7-9) and anticipates God's judgment on the wicked. Reformed theology affirms that such prayers, when offered in righteousness, align with God's justice. The 'violence and strife' David witnessed in Jerusalem prefigure the city's eventual judgment for rejecting Christ.
