I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
Psalm 109 is a predictive and imprecatory psalm that foretells God's retributive wrath coming upon evildoers and the wicked. It stands among the predictive psalms that depict tribulation coming upon the enemies of the church. Its severe and cursing language expresses God's retributive justice and judgment on the wicked. That severity is not a call for personal revenge, nor a personal request that enemies be cursed.
The psalm is a plea for divine justice that those who plot wickedness against the innocent should receive the fruit of their own deeds.
