In these psalms David asked God to deal with his adversaries and be a shield around him, his glory and the One who lifted up his head (Psa. 3:1-3, 6-8). Does asking God to deal with his adversaries correspond with the New Testament teaching? Surely, it is against the New Testament teaching. The New Testament teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matt. 5:44; Luke 6:27, 35; Rom. 12:20)." (Chapter 4 section 3 of the Life Study of the Psalms).

Gotta give it to Lee here :
This isn't according to Jesus :
Psa 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Mat_19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
