Psalm 55, particularly verse 15, is an imprecatory prayer, which is one that seeks misfortune against wrongdoers. Other examples of imprecatory prayers are at Psalm 35:6, 58:6, 69:28, and 109:8.

Psalm 55 contains this mild form of an imprecatory prayer at verse 9:[1]

“ Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues,

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

”
