Psalm 79

 


In the middle of destruction, the Author of this psalm understands that God is the one who can make things right. There is a great understanding that the judgment that has fallen isn't because God isn't powerful, but because He decided that this is right. The final verse promises that with God's deliverance comes a promise to praise God for all generations. Though this will ultimately be true. The sad truth is that this is like many a foxhole promise. It is clearly meant, but it will not be fulfilled. When God does deliver them, they don't keep praising God for every generation.
