So what types of prayer are you talking about specifically that the psalms are sort of giving us permission to speak to God?

Okay, so you've already identified the two kinds of psalms that are least likely to be known to us, laments and imprecatory psalms, as they're called, psalms of cursing, psalms directed at our enemies.

There are relatively few of the psalms that actually say to God, in so many words, damn them.

let their children beg bread, take everything from them, frustrate their plans.

Frustrate their plans, that's a pretty common appeal in the Psalms.

There are not too many that actually actively seek the destruction of the enemies, but there are some.

And yes, I would say that you've not heard them or seen them, even if you've read sort of over them, because we are trained not to hear them.

Um, In what ways does prayer or should prayer be sort of a two-way dialogue and how might we learn from the Psalms or more generally to hear God's voice?
