Proverbs 25:21
Excerpted from: Psalm Genres (Part Two): Imprecatory Psalms

I can understand that—that people do not think it is righteous for God's people to curse others in this way. Are we not just supposed to love our enemies? Is that not what Jesus said? (We will go into that in a little bit.) But Jesus not only says love your enemies, but it is also found in the Old Testament before the imprecatory psalms were penned—places like Leviticus 19:17-18 or Proverbs 25:21. They say very similar things: Help your enemy. Do not despise them. Give them what they need. Of course, love your neighbor comes from the Old Testament too.

Proverbs 25:21-22
Excerpted from: Love

For turning the other cheek, for doing what is right, He will reward you for your loving act. Your friendly action towards your enemy is going to stop and make him think. It is going to excite in him feelings of painful regret for how he has treated you.
