I also think of the Enemy of the Church - that we should pray against Satan. Jason: I am thinking of Paul’s words in 1 Cor 16:62 – if anyone does not love Christ let them be anathema.

What does that look like? Everyone is comfortable with praying against Satan, but there are many more enemies of the Church. Do you specifically identify them in prayer asking for revenge to be hastened? What is the scriptural basis for praying against the enemies of the Church?

Hello Bob,

Ames is saying three distinct things:

First, when we sing these types of Psalms it should cause us to meditate upon the judgment of God upon the impenitent

Second, it should cause us to be patient when we see the wicked prosper and when they afflict us (implied in patience is that their prosperity and afflicting us will one day end)

Third, it should cause us to pray against the Church’s enemies (thus keeping the law of Christ and Paul).
