"Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth."
I woke up with this on my mind. Actually, I fell asleep with it on my mind, so no wonder I'd wake up with it running through my mind as well. I also woke up with a screaming headache from clenching my teeth together, and although I can't remember my dreams,I'm certain the themes were biblical, as in swarms of locusts descending, the avenginging angel smiting enemies, seas turning to blood, and so on.
I believe Psalm 58:6 is King David's prayer that his enemies will no longer be able to do further mischief, but it is Bret Lott's powerful character Cathedral from his novel Jewel that first comes to mind when I think of issuing invective. Read the link and I think you'll agree.
