Psalms 74:3 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Ver. 3. Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations] i.e. Make haste to help, accurre, advola, as Genesis 29:1. Or, lift up thy feet, viz. to tread down thy enemies. A metaphor from combatants, Qui elevant pedes et passus, ut violentius in hostem invehantur. Some have rendered it, The loftiness of thy feet is perpetually (i.e. irreparably) desolated, understanding thereby the temple, that place of God's feet, Ezekiel 43:7

All that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary] Or, every one that hath done evil to his enemy in the sanctuary, whither he fled for safety.
