Psalm 79
Concise Complete
The deplorable condition of the people of God. (1-5) A petition for
relief. (6-13)
Verses 1-5 God is
complained to: whither should children go but to a Father able and willing to
help them? See what a change sin made in the holy city, when the heathen were
suffered to pour in upon them. God's own people defiled it by their sins,
therefore he suffered their enemies to defile it by their insolence. They
desired that God would be reconciled. Those who desire God's favour as better
than life, cannot but dread his wrath as worse than death. In every affliction
we should first beseech the Lord to cleanse away the guilt of our sins; then he
will visit us with his tender mercies.
Verses 6-13 Those
who persist in ignorance of God, and neglect of prayer, are the ungodly. How
unrighteous soever men were, the Lord was righteous in permitting them to do
what they did. Deliverances from trouble are mercies indeed, when grounded upon
the pardon of sin; we should therefore be more earnest in prayer for the removal
of our sins than for the removal of afflictions. They had no hopes but from
God's mercies, his tender mercies. They plead no merit, they pretend to none,
but, Help us for the glory of thy name; pardon us for thy name's sake. The
Christian forgets not that he is often bound in the chain of his sins. The world
to him is a prison; sentence of death is passed upon him, and he knows not how
soon it may be executed. How fervently should he at all times pray, O let the
sighing of a prisoner come before thee, according to the greatness of thy power
preserve thou those that are appointed to die! How glorious will the day be,
when, triumphant over sin and sorrow, the church beholds the adversary disarmed
for ever! while that church shall, from age to age, sing the praises of her
great Shepherd and Bishop, her King and her God.
