To me the somewhat negative Psalms represent the feelings of the psalmists toward their enemies. Clearly the New Testament calls us to a higher attitude toward humans enemies, to love them. But we can still express indignation toward our spiritual enemies, and there those examples of appeals for righteous vindication remain helpful. I simply redirect them toward Devil and his minions, and they inspire me to know that God eventually will get justice and avenge his people. Copping a vindictive attitude toward the Devil and evil is not a sin.

Cop an attitude!?!
Haven't heard that since I left the "hood" in '75. 
When I heard "rube" I found that so funny, cuz I got a niece in HS with her "smart" phone who calls us all a "noob" -- " Uncle Ohio you're such a noob!"
.
OK, back on topic!
