Psalm 79:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 79:4

We are become a reproach to our neighbours
That is, those that remained; so the Jews were to the Edomites, especially at the time of the Babylonish captivity, ( Psalms 137:7 ) ,

a scorn and derision to them that are round about us;
as the Christians in all ages have been to the men of the world, and especially will be insulted and triumphed over when the witnesses are slain, ( Revelation 11:10 ) .

Psalm 79:4 In-Context

2 Elles ont donné les corps de tes serviteurs en pâture aux oiseaux des cieux, la chair de tes bien-aimés aux bêtes de la terre.
3 Elles ont répandu leur sang comme l'eau, à l'entour de Jérusalem, sans qu'il y eût personne pour les ensevelir.
4 Nous avons été en opprobre chez nos voisins, la risée et le jouet de nos alentours.
5 Jusques à quand, ô Éternel, seras-tu irrité sans relâche, et ta jalousie sera-t-elle embrasée comme un feu?
6 Répands ta colère sur les nations qui ne te connaissent pas, et sur les royaumes qui n'invoquent pas ton nom.
