Mazmur 79:1

Psalm 79 ⁹ 

A psalm of Asaph.

79:1 O God, foreigners ¹⁰  have invaded your chosen land; ¹¹ 

they have polluted your holy temple

and turned Jerusalem ¹²  into a heap of ruins.

[5:7]  ¹ sn But as for me. By placing the first person pronoun at the beginning of the verse, the psalmist highlights the contrast between the evildoers’ actions and destiny, outlined in the preceding verses, with his own.

[5:7]  ² sn I will enter your house. The psalmist is confident that God will accept him into his presence, in contrast to the evildoers (see v. 5).

[5:7]  ³ tn Heb “in fear [of] you.” The Hebrew noun יִרְאָה (yir’ah, “fear”), when used of fearing God, is sometimes used metonymically for what it ideally produces: “worship, reverence, piety.”

[93:5]  ⁴ tn Traditionally “your testimonies.” The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to the demands of God’s covenant law. See Ps 19:7.

[93:5]  ⁵ sn The rules you set down. God’s covenant contains a clear, reliable witness to his moral character and demands.

[93:5]  ⁶ sn Holiness refers here to God’s royal transcendence (see vv. 1-4), as well as his moral authority and perfection (see v. 5a).

[93:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “for your house holiness is fitting, O Lord, for length of days.”

[66:13]  ⁸ sn Here the psalmist switches to the singular; he speaks as the representative of the nation.

[79:1]  ⁹ sn Psalm 79. The author laments how the invading nations have destroyed the temple and city of Jerusalem. He asks God to forgive his people and to pour out his vengeance on those who have mistreated them.

[79:1]  ¹⁰ tn Or “nations.”

[79:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “have come into your inheritance.”
