Psalm 109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be for him.
”What goes around comes around.” In this imprecatory Psalm, David prays a prayer of reciprocity upon his enemy. “You get what you give.” The man that curses others finds that his curses return back upon himself. And if he does not bless others, blessings will not come to him. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” “Give, and it shall be given.” This “law of reciprocity” is built into the Creation, and we do well when we live by this principle.
The natural man’s response to bad people and things is to curse; the godly man’s response is to bless and forgive. “Forgive us as we forgive.” The expected response to being forgiven is to forgive. We love because He first loved us. The sequence is continual: we sin, Jesus died for us, we believe and receive, we forgive and do good. Forgiveness and blessing is a way of life. It is what we do. And when we pray for our enemies and bless, not curse, them, the blessing returns back upon us. Life is good and we feel better.
