If you back up to pre Christian times, you will find that king David felt the same way at times,

Terry and DaveH, hope you don't mind if I add a thought or two about David and his feelings because
I see this brought up often by ppl who mention the imprecatory Psalms etc.  We know that all scripture
is given by inspiration of God and that God Himself calls David a man after his own heart.
 
I submit that when David spoke about the "wicked" it was always in general terms and 
never a personal vendetta toward any one person and in this he is, in fact, agreeing with what God says
about the wicked in his statutes and commandments.
 
Job's comforters were doing the same in their discourses but their mistake and what made God angry
with them is that they judged Job personally and accused him adding to his affliction when God was
allowing him to be tested by the adversary.  
 
In contrast the ppl DaveH speaks of sound angry and vengeful for personal reasons so they would not
represent either God's zeal or the fruit of a Christian life..   judyt

I agree.
