"Deprived of signs, with no prophets left, who can say how long this will last? How much longer, God, is the oppressor to blaspheme? Is the enemy to insult your name forever? Why hold back your hand, why keep your right hand hidden? "

"Remember the enemy's blasphemy, how frenzied people dare to insult your name. Respect the covenant! We can bear no more -- every cave in the country is the scene of violence! Rise God, say something on your behalf, do not forget the madman's day-long blaspheming..." (Ps.74:1-23). "Axes deep in the wood, hacking at the panels, they battered them down with mallet and hatchet; then, God, setting fire to your sanctuary, they profanely razed the house of your name to the ground. Determined to destroy us once and for all, they burned down every shrine of God in the country." (Ps.74:1-23).

For refernce, the whole psalm is here

Presuming your reason for citing this, I note God doesn't make any moral pronouncements about praying for extermination in it.

Moreover, God says nothing at all in this psalm. The psalmist is talking to God, not prophesying for God.

On the other hand, do really even need to bring up the many teachings of Jesus that support my view?
