Imprecation is an important feature of the Psalms, indicating that it was a key aspect of Israel's life and worship as Yahweh's covenant -son.- But this raises the question of the Christian's relationship with imprecation. Should Christians pray prayers of imprecation as the psalmists did- If so, how should Christians understand and approach imprecation, especially in the light of Jesus' instruction in the Sermon on the Mount -Matthew 5-43-48-- This sermon considers imprecation as an aspect of sonship, and how it has been transformed in Jesus the Messiah.
