Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.  Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise. Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence.

I noticed that David never says any names when he curses the bad guys. it's always 'they' or 'those who are proud' or 'evil men' . It's never their actual name. In psalm 16 he says that, "I will not pour out their libations of blood, or take up their name upon my lips" He kept that promise quite well indeed.

Funny! I never noticed that.
