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 dove to the wild animals; do not forget the life of your poor forever.
20 Have regard for your covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
21 Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Rise up, O God, plead your cause; remember how the impious scoff at you all day long.
23 Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of your adversaries that goes up continually.
