Mark Shea has written an excellent, intelligent parody (inspired partially by the Mel Gibson brouhaha, and partially by those who are "hardliners" when it comes to forgiveness).
Sidenote: I wouldn't be surprised to read something with this tone (fisking not the Psalm itself, but the exact same general sentiments as stated by the Pope, a bishop, a pastor, or a theologian) as a serious article in the New Oxford Review, a formerly excellent Catholic magazine, which has, in the last five years or so, turned itself into a pit of holier-than-the-pope vitriol and ruthless judgmentalism. Of course, I'm sure the editor could make an airtight case that I am an abject fool, who is endangering his own salvation by even thinking such a thing...
