call me crazy, but this sounds more like a 'prayer' to the Devil than to the Creator

strike them with your wrath; make their lives hostage to misery; drape them with endless despair, unrelenting pain and unremitting ailment; fill their lives with sorrow and pain and end their lives in humiliation and oppression; inflict your tortures and punishments

[IbJensen]

They are devils.
