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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 79:6-13

The petitions here put up to God are very suitable to the present distresses of the church, and they have pleas to enforce them, interwoven with them, taken mostly from God's honour. I. They pray that God would so turn away his anger from them as to turn it upon those that persecuted and abused them (Ps. 79:6): ?Pour out thy wrath, the full vials of it, upon the heathen; let them wring out the dregs of it, and drink them.? This prayer is in effect a prophecy, in which the wrath of God is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 79:5

How long, Lord, wilt thou be angry? for ever ?.... That is, how long wilt thou be angry? shall it be for ever? see Psalm 85:4 , for though what was done, or to be done, as before related, was or will be done by the enemies of the Lord's people, yet by his permission, and as a token of his anger and displeasure against them: at least it might be so understood, both by them and by their enemies; and hence this expostulation, shall thy jealousy burn like fire ? so jealousy does; its coals... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 79:6

Pour out thy wrath upon the Heathen that have not known thee ,.... Who had poured out the blood of the saints like water, and therefore it was a righteous thing with God to pour out the cup of wrath in his hands, and cause them to drink the dregs of it: these words, though they are in the form of an imprecation, yet regard not private revenge, but public justice, and the honour of God; and, besides, may be considered as a prophecy of what would be, and particularly of God's pouring out the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 79:7

For they have devoured Jacob ,.... The posterity of Jacob, the people of the Jews, typical of the church of God, made havoc of by the Romish antichrist: and laid waste his dwelling place; both Jerusalem and the temple, which was done both by the Chaldeans and the Romans, and also in the times of Antiochus; see the Apocrypha: "38 Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 79:6

Pour out thy wrath - Bad as we are, we are yet less wicked than they. We, it is true, have been unfaithful; but they never knew thy name, and are totally abandoned to idolatry. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 79:7

Laid waste his dwelling-place - The Chaldee understands this of the temple. This, by way of eminence, was Jacob's place. I have already remarked that these two verses are almost similar to Jeremiah 10:25 , which has led many to believe that Jeremiah was the author of this Psalm. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 79:5

Verse 5 5How long, O Jehovah! wilt thou be wroth for ever? I have already observed that these two expressions, how long and for ever, when joined together, denote a lengthened and an uninterrupted continuance of calamities; and that there is no appearance, when looking to the future, of their coming to a termination. We may, therefore, conclude that this complaint was not ended within a month or two after persecution against the Church commenced, but at a time when the hearts of the faithful... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 79:6

Verse 6 6.Pour out thy fury upon the heathen, who have not known thee. This prayer is apparently inconsistent with the rule of charity; for, while we feel anxious about our own calamities, and desire to be delivered from them, we ought to desire that others may be relieved as well as ourselves. It would seem, therefore, that the faithful are to be blamed in here wishing the destruction of unbelievers, for whose salvation they ought rather to have been solicitous. But it becomes us to bear in... read more
