Gill's Exposition on Psalms 79:13
So we thy people, and sheep of thy pasture,.... Who were the people of God, not by creation and providence only, as all men are, being his creatures, and provided for by him; but by special choice,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 79:13
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 79:13
Psalms 79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. Ver. 13. So we thy people … will give thee praise] A service which the saints know to be so acceptable to God, that they commonly promise it, and accordingly perform it, Hosea 14:2, engaging also their children, as here, to do the like.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 79:13
(13) “The last word of the psalm is Tehillah; the one crowning privilege of God’s people; the exulting and triumphant confidence in God, which only His chosen can entertain and express. It is here placed in splendid contrast with the reproach of the heathen, and of the malicious neighbours mentioned in the preceding verse. Let them curse so long as thou dost bless (Burgess, Notes on the Hebrew Psalms).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 79:13
Verse 13. We thy people] Whom thou hast chosen from among all the people of the earth. And sheep of thy pasture] Of whom thou thyself art the Shepherd. Let us not be destroyed by those who are thy enemies; and we, in all our generations, will give thanks unto thee for ever. ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-NINTH PSALM This Psalm contains the four following parts: - I. A complaint for the desolation of Jerusalem, Psalms 79:1-5. II. A deprecation of God's anger, Psalms 79:5. III. A twofold petition: - 1.
Against the enemies of God's people, Psalms 79:6-7; Psalms 79:10-12. 2. For the people, Psalms 79:8-9. IV. A doxology, Psalms 79:13. I. The complaint is bitter, and is amplified by a climax, - 1. "The heathen are come into thine inheritance," Psalms 79:1. 2. "The holy temple they have defiled," Psalms 79:1. 3. "They have laid Jerusalem in heaps," Psalms 79:2. 4. They have exercised cruelty towards the dead. 5.
"They have shed blood like water," Psalms 79:3. 6. They have not even buried those whom they slaughtered. 7. "We are become a reproach, a scorn, and a derision," Psalms 79:4. II. Next comes the cause of their calamity. 1. God's anger was kindled because of their sins, Psalms 79:5. 2. This anger he deprecates, Psalms 79:5. III. The twofold prayer, - 1. Against the enemy: 1.
Pour out thy wrath on them, not on us, Psalms 79:6; 2. He adds the reason: "They have devoured Jacob." Psalms 79:7. 2. The second part of the prayer is in behalf of the people: 1. "Remember not against us former offences," Psalms 79:8. 2. "Let thy mercy prevent us." The reasons: "We are brought very low." 3. His prayer is directed for help to the God of salvation. 4. For deliverance and pardon of sin, Psalms 79:9. His arguments to prevail with God: - 1. The blasphemy of the heathen, Psalms 79:10. 2. The misery of the people, Psalms 79:11.
And another prayer against the enemy, Psalms 79:12. IV. The doxology. 1. We, who are thy people, will be thankful. 2. We will leave a record of thy mercy to all generations, Psalms 79:13.
