Bumper stickers witht the above Psalm is popping up all over the Country. Isn't that awesome! People are praying for our President! Uh not so much. Don't be misled, this is not a good Christian prayer for the leader of the Free world. Let's take a look at what this Psalm really says:
Psalm 109:8-19
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven [d] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the LORD,
that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy and the brokenhearted.
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it [e] come on him;
he found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be [f] far from him.
18 He wore cursing as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,
into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.

A good Christian prayer for the President? Not so much! This verse, amonst other things, calls for the children to be orphaned...meaning those who quote this scripture want the President dead? What else can one take from that. Once again, the Bible is being used to speak in code against their so-called enemies. Yay Christianity!
