Psalms 70:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 70:2
The imprecatory prayer for enemies to be 'ashamed and confounded' seeks their defeat and humiliation. 'Turned backward' means routed in battle. 'Put to confusion' depicts total disarray. These prayers aren't personal vengeance but appeals for God's justice against those opposing His purposes. Such psalms anticipate final judgment on impenitent evil (Revelation 19:11-21) while modeling how to process anger righteously—bringing it to God rather than taking revenge (Romans 12:19).
