Empirical studies of forgiveness have shown that true forgiveness is possible only when the victim faces and accepts the offence and negative emotions resulting from others’ sins honestly for a while. However, Christian care-givers tend to urge clients to rush to forgive the offender and attempt to alter the victims’ view and emotions of the damage fast to make the victims feel better. Christian counselors may show messages to Christian client that anger as a negative emotion is not proper to a life of faith. On the contrary, the imprecatory psalms in the Old Testament prove that Christian victims must have enough time to confront and accept their unforgiving feelings such as anger based on God’s justice, before proceeding to the forgiveness of love reflecting Godlike forgiveness in the Christ. The fact that imprecatory psalms are in the bible denote that God wants to hear His people's honest expression of negative feelings for the psychological healing. This paper proposes to look the victim in the imprecatory psalms from the redemptive historical view. Looked from the redemptive historical view, the existence of the imprecatory psalms shows that the victim’s anger is an essential preparatory stage for the process of true forgiveness.
