“O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?”
King James Version (KJV)
74:8 Destroy them - All at once. So they intended, although afterwards they changed their council, and carried some away captive. Burnt up - All the public places wherein the Jews used to meet together to worship God every sabbath - day.
74:9 Signs - Those tokens of God's gracious presence, which we used to enjoy. The temple and ark, and sacrifices, and solemn feasts, were signs between God and his people. Prophet - Who can foretell things to come. Probably Ezekiel and Jeremiah were dead when this psalm was composed; and David was involved in civil affairs, and did not teach the people as a prophet. Knoweth - How long their captivity should continue.
74:11 Why - Why dost thou forebear the exercise of thy power? Bosom - In which thou now seemest to hide it.
74:12 King - It belongs therefore to thy office to protect and save me. Midst - In the view of the world.
