Psalms 6:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 6:10
The psalm concludes with prayer for the enemies' defeat and shame. This isn't cruel gloating but desire for justice and vindication. The repetition of 'ashamed' and 'vexed' (using the same Hebrew word 'bahal' used of David's distress in verse 3) invokes poetic justice - may they experience the dismay they caused. 'Suddenly' emphasizes God's swift intervention when He acts. Such prayers are legitimate when they seek God's righteous judgment, not personal revenge, ultimately anticipating Christ's final judgment.
