All About Prayer (8) By Babatunde Olugboji Should we pray imprecatory prayers? I believe yes, we should. You may not necessarily agree with me, but I encourage you to be open as we end the series on prayers. An imprecatory psalm (e.g., Psalms 7, 35, 55, 58, 59, 69 79, 83, 109 and 137) in Hebrew literature is a type of lament, and lament psalms are the individual and corporate cries of God’s people.

All About Prayer (7) By Babatunde Olugboji As we look forward to concluding, next week, this series on prayers that shines the searchlight on prayers of imprecation, we’ll focus on the argument that praying such prayers is appropriate for today’s New Testament believers. As a reminder, to imprecate means “to invoke evil upon or curse” one’s enemies.

This is against the backdrop of the encouragement in the NT that believers should love their enemies (Matthew 5:44), and to “bless and not curse” (Romans 12:14). The idea is that the imprecatory psalms appear difficult to reconcile with such NT teachings. Some…
