John Gill Bible Commentary

Forget not the voice of thine enemies,.... Their roaring in the midst of the sanctuary and the congregation, Psa 74:4, their reproaching and blaspheming voice, Psa 74:10, the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually, or "ascendeth" (i); goes up to God, and is taken notice of by him; the cry of their sins, like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and of the city of Nineveh, Gen 18:20, was continually going up to God; wherefore it might be hoped and expected that vengeance in a little time would come down; see Rev 18:5, the Septuagint, and the versions that follow that, render it, "the pride of those", &c. all these petitions are prayers of faith, and are, or will be, heard and answered; upon which will follow thanksgivings, with which the next psalm begins. (i) "ascendens semper", Montanus; "ascendit semper", V. L. Musculus, Gejerus. Next: Psalms Chapter 75
