Verse 23
Forget not the voice of thine enemies ,.... Their roaring in the midst of the sanctuary and the congregation, Psalm 74:4 , their reproaching and blaspheming voice, Psalm 74:10 ,
the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually , or "ascendeth" F9 עולה תמיד "ascendens semper", Montanus; "ascendit semper", V. L. Musculus, Gejerus. ; goes up to God, and is taken notice of by him; the cry of their sins, like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and of the city of Nineveh, Genesis 18:20 , was continually going up to God; wherefore it might be hoped and expected that vengeance in a little time would come down; see Revelation 18:5 , the Septuagint, and the versions that follow that, render it, "the pride of those", &c.; all these petitions are prayers of faith, and are, or will be, heard and answered; upon which will follow thanksgivings, with which the next psalm begins.
