Sermons on Psalms 79

A communal lament grieves the destruction of Jerusalem: nations have invaded God’s inheritance, defiled his holy temple, and left the dead unburied, making his people a reproach among their neighbors. The psalm asks how long God’s anger will last, pleads for his compassion because the people are brought very low, and seeks deliverance and atonement for sins for the sake of his name. It also asks God to judge the nations and promises that his people, the sheep of his pasture, will give thanks forever. Themes include divine judgment, mercy, and God’s honor among the nations.
