Psalms 74:1 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever So as to leave us no visible hopes of restitution? Why doth thine anger smoke? That is, why doth it rise to such a degree, that all about us take notice of it, and ask, What meaneth the heat of this great anger? Deuteronomy 29:24. Compare Psalms 74:20, where the anger of the Lord and his jealousy are said to smoke against sinners. Against the sheep of thy pasture Against thy chosen people.
