诗篇 79:3 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 79:1-5

We have here a sad complaint exhibited in the court of heaven. The world is full of complaints, and so is the church too, for it suffers, not only with it, but from it, as a lily among thorns. God is complained to; whither should children go with their grievances, but to their father, to such a father as is able and willing to help? The heathen are complained of, who, being themselves aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, were sworn enemies to it. Though they knew not God, nor owned him,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 79:3

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem ,.... Without any concern of mind, or remorse of conscience; without any fear of God or man; as if it had been so much water only; and this they shed in great abundance: from the Apocrypha: "And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.' (1 Maccabees 1:24) "And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 79:1-4

Times of persecution. Such times have been repeated over and over again. They must be recognized as parts of the Divine administration, and we must inquire how they are made to bear on the spiritual interests of God's Church in the world. They are not merely historical incidents. They are not merely isolated calamities. They are only seen and apprehended aright when they are seen to be Divine permissions, and even taken up and used for high moral ends by Divine power. They are one form in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 79:1-13

The psalm consists of four strophes of four verses each, together with an epilogue consisting of one verse only. In Psalms 74:1-4 the situation is described. In Psalms 74:5-8 and Psalms 74:9-12 prayer is made to God for deliverance, and for vengeance upon the cruel enemy. Psalms 74:13 is an expression of confidence in God, and a promise of perpetual thankfulness. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 79:1-13

An imprecatory psalm. We need not be at pains to fix the date of this psalm, whether it belongs to the period of the Exile or of Antiochus Epiphanes. The words to some extent suit either. But we note in it— I. WHAT IS RIGHT FOR EVERY ONE . The writer is in sore trouble, but he takes his trouble to God. One purpose of all such trouble has already been won—the heart has been brought nearer God. II. WHAT WAS NATURAL AND NOT WRONG FOR ISRAEL , BUT WOULD ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 79:1-13

Prayer for deliverance from suffering. "Written in a time of the deepest distress; the city is desolate and the whole nation oppressed by the cruel thraldom of their heathen oppressors. They are apparently deserted by God, and their bitterness enhanced by the feeling that God was exacting from them the penalty for the iniquity of their forefathers." I. SUFFERING . 1 . God ' s Church seemed in danger of being entirely overthrown. ( Psalms 79:1-5 .) Nothing causes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 79:3

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem. During the long siege (eighteen months) the number slain in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem would be very large. And there was none to bury them (compare the prophecy of Jeremiah, Jeremiah 14:16 ). The population being for the most part carried into captivity, and but few left in the land ( Jeremiah 52:15 , Jeremiah 52:16 ), the bodies of the slain lay unburied, the few left not being able to bury them. Compare the... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 79:3

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem - They have poured it out in such quantities that it seems to flow like water - not an uncommon occurrence in war. There was no event in the history of the Hebrews to which this description would be more applicable than to the Babylonian invasion. The language might indeed be applicable to the desolation of the city by Antiochus Epiphanes, and also to its destruction by the Romans; but, of course, it cannot refer to the latter, and... read more

Psalms 79:2-3. The dead bodies of thy servants Either, 1st, Of thy faithful and holy servants, whom they used as cruelly as the worst of the people. Or, 2d, Of the Jews in general, whom, though most of them were wicked, he calls God’s servants and saints, because they were such by profession; and some of them were really such; and the Chaldeans neither knew nor regarded those that were so, but promiscuously destroyed all that came in their way; have they given to be meat to the fowls, ... read more
