>>CB, what do you think those imprecatory Psalms are, if not prayers & some other petitions of the Lord (set to music)??? <<

Whatever made you think that I thought they were not prayers anyway? Are you so dead set on somehow excoriating me that you need to inject what you think I think or something?

I have dozens of books on Christian prayer. Shall I go thru & cite page & author as to how many of them cite "prayers" of the Bible -- including prayers of Psalmists -- as "prototypical" (model) prayers for people to either recite or paraphrase as their own prayers lifted up to God?

In a world where people commonly use the Lord's Prayer as our own prayer as well, why did you seemingly assume in post #910 that a psalmist prototypical prayer would not be recited as somebody's OWN prayer?
