I don't believe we should be praying for them to suffer, but to repent and change their views. The Lord will withhold judgement if you cheer on someone suffering because the Lord doesn't want that any should perish. He would also that people's deeds remain covered and they not be humiliated. This of course wouldn't apply to those preeching iniquity, but rather the sinner who is going along with the world because they don't know any better, someone like Mary Magdelin, as opposed to the Pharisees who He called out publicly.
It is good to pray that those in leadership have their plans foiled and their evil intentions are exposed. That the truth be made light. But we need to live with these people after all this is said and done. We aren't and the Lord isn't going to just kill them all. SJWs will still be here. We need to pray for our school system and media to be converted back to the truth or we are going to lose the future.
I'm not sure what parts of the Bible you have read, but not only does David, and many others, pray for God's vengeance on his enemies, God answers his prayers. The satanic pedophiles running things are irredeemable in my opinion, and praying for their destruction is righteous. If you want to pray for their salvation, good for you, but suggesting it's inappropriate or unBiblical to pray for their defeat and destruction is wrong.
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.
Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless in my complaint and I moan,
3 because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they drop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
4 My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me,
and horror overwhelms me.
6 And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
7 yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah
8 I would hurry to find a shelter
from the raging wind and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;
for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and iniquity and trouble are within it;
11 ruin is in its midst;
oppression and fraud
do not depart from its marketplace.
12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me—
then I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14 We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God's house we walked in the throng.
15 Let death steal over them;
let them go down to Sheol alive;
for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.
16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
19 God will give ear and humble them,
he who is enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not change
and do not fear God.
20 My companion[b] stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21 His speech was smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
23 But you, O God, will cast them down
into the pit of destruction;
men of blood and treachery
shall not live out half their days.
But I will trust in you.
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, 18 or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.
None of that is a suggestion to not pray for their destruction.
My God, whom I praise,
do not remain silent,
2 for people who are wicked and deceitful
have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3 With words of hatred they surround me;
they attack me without cause.
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
5 They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,
that he may blot out their name from the earth.
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
but hounded to death the poor
and the needy and the brokenhearted.
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
may it come back on him.
He found no pleasure in blessing—
may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing as his garment;
it entered into his body like water,
into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil of me.
And lastly, if yoy have to ask yourself if the Lord wants us to pray for evil people to be saved or for them to all die in horrific fiery wrath. You already know what the Lord wants from you.
These are good, but these are David's prayers to the Lord during the times of judgment, when man warred against flesh and the nature of the Spirit wasn't revealed. We don't war against the flesh in these days, but against the spirits, against wickedness in high places.
The revelation that it isn't the people but the demons inside of them that we are fighting. David only thought he was fighting people.
In Luke 9, the disciples wanted to call down fire on those who wouldn't accept Christ and He rebuked them.
In Romans Paul states to bless those who persecute us, not to curse them. Calling down God's wrath is cursing them.
Now I will give you this. Paul later in 2 Timothy alks about the metalsmith and ask the Lord to render to him for his works, but examples of this are rare in the new testament
Also the book of Revelation 6 states that the saints want God to unleash His wrath
