Psalm 79:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 79:10

Wherefore should the Heathen say, where is their God?
&c.] They boast of, and put their confidence in, and expect salvation from? he does not appear for them, he is not with them; he has forsaken them, and will not help them; than which nothing can be more afflicting and distressing to the Lord's people; see ( Psalms 42:3 ) ,

let him be known among the Heathen in our sight;
in his holiness and justice, as a God of power, and to whom vengeance belongs; let him be known by his judgments executed upon the Heathen, openly and publicly in our sight, and in the view of the whole world; see ( Psalms 9:16 ) , so it follows,

by the revenging of the blood of thy servants, which is shed;
as in ( Psalms 79:3 ) , which blood God will revenge according to the request of his people, and give them blood to drink by way of retaliation; by which means his vindictive justice will be known, and it will be seen where the God of his people is, that he is with them, and maintains their cause; see ( Revelation 6:9 ) ( Revelation 16:6 Revelation 16:7 ) ( 19:2 ) . The words may be rendered in connection with the preceding clause thus; "let it be known among the Heathen in our sight, even the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed"; though Kimchi supplies the words as we do, "by a revenging"

Psalm 79:10 In-Context

8 Não cobres de nós as maldades dos nossos antepassados;venha depressa ao nosso encontro a tua misericórdia,pois estamos totalmente desanimados!

9 Ajuda-nos, ó Deus, nosso Salvador,para a glória do teu nome;livra-nos e perdoa os nossos pecados,por amor do teu nome.

10 Por que as nações haverão de dizer:“Onde está o Deus deles?”Diante dos nossos olhos, mostra às naçõesa tua vingança pelo sangue dos teus servos.

11 Cheguem à tua presença os gemidos dos prisioneiros.Pela força do teu braço preserva os condenados à morte.

12 Retribui sete vezes mais aos nossos vizinhosas afrontas com que te insultaram, Senhor!
