LOL, what an unChristian prayer!

Here is another example of the dichotomy between the New Testament and the Old.  In the NT Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies.  But when Jesus said that, somehow I don't think this pray of David's is what He meant.

LOL, David is praying for his enemies all right but look what he is praying for.  That they be left fatherless.  That they be beggars and starve.  Wow! 

It just seemed kind of funny to me.  :)

Psalms 109:1-15(NKJV)

1    Do not keep silent,      O God of my praise!

2    For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful     Have opened against me;     They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

3    They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,     And fought against me without a cause.

4    In return for my love they are my accusers,     But I give myself to prayer.

5    Thus they have rewarded me evil for good,     And hatred for my love.

6    Set a wicked man over him,      And let an £accuser stand at his right hand.

7    When he is judged, let him be found guilty,     And let his prayer become sin.

8    Let his days be few,     And let another take his office.

9    Let his children be fatherless,     And his wife a widow.

10    Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg;     Let them £seek their bread also from their desolate places.

11    Let the creditor seize all that he has,     And let strangers plunder his labor.

12    Let there be none to extend mercy to him,     Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.

13    Let his posterity be cut off,     And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14    Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,      And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15    Let them be continually before the Lord,     That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
