Day 117: Psalms 108-109

After just reading about David's census taking yesterday I find this verse from his Psalm 108 interesting:

Give us aid against the enemy,
   for human help is worthless.
With God we will gain the victory,
   and he will trample down our enemies. (108:12-13)

I always feel a little weird about reading psalms like 109. I find myself wondering why they are included in the Bible's song book. It doesn't really sound like a song of praise to me. I can't imagine going to church on a Sunday morning and singing a song like...

May his children be wandering beggars;
   may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has;
   may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him
   or take pity on his fatherless children. (109:10-12)

He spends the first 20 verses like that calling down curses on his enemies. I suppose there is something to be said for being honest with God about your feelings but it's very hard for me to read this with all of Jesus' teachings about loving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us ringing in my ears.

But then there's this:

But you, Sovereign LORD,
   help me for your name’s sake;
   out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
For I am poor and needy,
   and my heart is wounded within me. (109:21-22)

He asks it all "for Your name's sake". Is it possible for God to grant all the requests in vs 1-20 for His name's sake?

Is it possible for God to grant all our requests for His name's sake?
