Lostonearth, the imprecatory Psalms exist for a reason. There is only so much corruption, so much abuse, that a human heart can withstand.
There are different schools of thought about how to use them - ranging from fundamentalist extremist (ask-God-to-smite-people-I-don't-like) to fairly thoughtful approaches:
Quote:
Yes, there is still a place for the wrath of God. It is right and indeed necessary to call upon the Lord to silence evil men. But you must not neglect, in calling for their silence, the prayers for their salvation. Your apologetic must not end with hell. You must pray fervently for the salvation of the reprobate. Because what better way is there to silence a wicked man than to turn His heart to the Lord. So, pray for your persecutors. Pray for those who persecute your Christian brothers and sisters. Pray that their evil words would be silenced and their evil deeds stopped either by salvation or by Sheol. Implore the Lord to intervene and trust that He will work out His plan of redemption and preserve His people. Call upon your God because He is able and He is willing to answer. So Christian, call upon the Lord to quiet the words of the wicked.”

Gentle ReformationTake a look - it may help. You do need to channel what you're feeling, it's not going to dissipate easily. And this does help. Ask me how I know
