Psalms 79:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Though we confess that we have deserved thy wrath, yet the heathen, by whom thou hast scourged us, deserve it much more, as being guilty of far greater impieties than we, living in gross ignorance and contempt of God and of his worship; and therefore we pray transfer thy wrath from us to them.

Psalms 79:6

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
