How do we interpret and apply the imprecatory Psalms while maintaining the principles you’ve iterated above?

Excellent question! And it deserves a more excellent response than I can give. If this is a serious question to which you want a serious and thoughtful response, and not just a quick rebuttal of Our Lord’s command to love our enemies, then I would hope you’d be willing to put a little effort into it.

Therefore, I would refer you to the Introduction and the first three chapters of C.S. Lewis’ “Reflections on the Psalms.” It should take no more than an hour of your time, and it will help you to see the Imprecatory Psalms in a whole new light.
