Psalms 74:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 74:21

O let not the oppressed return ashamed
From the throne of grace, not having an answer of their prayer, but still continuing under the oppressions of their enemies:

let the poor and needy praise thy name;
let them have occasion for it, by the destruction of their enemies, and their deliverance from them, as they will have ere long; see ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) .

Psalms 74:21 In-Context

19 Do not give the life of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your poor people forever.
20 Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.
21 Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame; let the poor and needy praise Your name.
22 Arise, God, defend Your cause! Remember the insults that fools bring against You all day long.
23 Do not forget the clamor of Your adversaries, the tumult of Your opponents that goes up constantly.
