Paradox #1
Psalms 109:28 seems to show a person asking for God's blessing and for their enemies' curses to fail. Some may see a conflict with New Testament teachings, where Jesus advises to love and pray for one's enemies (like in Matthew 5:44). This could appear inconsistent with the idea of seeking harm for one's adversaries.
Paradox #2
Psalms 109:28 can be seen as morally conflicting because it involves asking for curses on enemies while seeking blessings for oneself. This could be inconsistent with teachings about love and forgiveness found elsewhere in religious texts.
