But remember: The words of 1 Peter do NOT deny the faithful the use of imprecatory prayer. Read King David's psalms that implore the Lord to destroy David's enemies. See Psalm 137 for just how "imprecatory" imprecatory prayer can be, and still be a legitimate part of holy Scripture.

Psalm 37 is one of my favorites.

You are right, it does not deny our right or ability to do that, but the negative consequences can be eternal. The Word makes it perfectly clear the forgiveness is not optional and, at the very least, severely limits the possibility of Imprecations w/o a terrible cost.
