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 Don't throw your lambs to the wolves; after all we've been through, don't forget us.
20 Remember your promises; the city is in darkness, the countryside violent.
21 Don't leave the victims to rot in the street; make them a choir that sings your praises.
22 On your feet, O God - stand up for yourself! Do you hear what they're saying about you, all the vile obscenities?
23 Don't tune out their malicious filth, the brawling invective that never lets up.
