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 ) .

19 Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.

20 Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

21 Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.

22 Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.

23 Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
