"Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Forget not the voice of thine enemies,.... Their roaring in the midst of the sanctuary and the congregation, Psa 74:4 , their reproaching and blaspheming voice, Psa 74:10 , the tumult of those that rise up
against thee increaseth continually, or "ascendeth" (i); goes up to God, and is taken notice of by him; the cry of their sins, like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and of the city of Nineveh, Gen 18:20 , was continually going up to God; wherefore it might be hoped and expected that vengeance in a little time would come down; see Rev 18:5 , the Septuagint, and the versions that follow that, render it, "the pride of those", &c. all these petitions are prayers of faith, and are, or will be, heard and answered; upon which will follow thanksgivings, with which the next psalm begins. (i) "ascendens semper", Montanus; "ascendit semper", V. L. Musculus, Gejerus. Next: Psalms Chapter 75 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: Psalms: Psalm...
