4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
5How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,
7for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland. 8Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.Cross References

Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war. They are coming from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the LORD and the weapons of His wrath— to destroy the whole country. Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt. Terror, pain, and anguish will seize them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look at one another, their faces flushed with fear. Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming— cruel, with fury and burning anger— to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless. I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger. Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land. Whoever is caught will be stabbed, and whoever is captured will die by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished. Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold. Their bows will dash young men to pieces; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; they will not look with pity on the children. And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation; no nomad will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there. But desert creatures will lie down there, and howling creatures will fill her houses. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about. Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals in her luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged. |

Psalms 79:6 Summary
[Psalms 79:6 is a prayer asking God to pour out His wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge Him, which means they do not recognize or accept His authority. This verse reminds us that God is a holy and just God who will not tolerate sin and rebellion forever, as seen in Romans 1:18-20. We can learn from this verse by making sure that we are acknowledging God's sovereignty and authority in our own lives, and by calling on His name in prayer and worship, as instructed in Psalm 105:1. By doing so, we can avoid facing God's wrath and instead experience His love and mercy, as promised in 1 John 1:9.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'acknowledge' God in Psalms 79:6?
To acknowledge God means to recognize and accept His sovereignty and authority over our lives, as seen in Romans 1:21, where it says that even the Gentiles knew God but did not glorify Him as God.
Is God's wrath in Psalms 79:6 contradictory to His love in John 3:16?
God's wrath and love are not mutually exclusive, as seen in Psalm 103:8, which says that God is slow to anger and abounding in love, yet His wrath is a necessary response to sin and rebellion, as stated in Romans 6:23.
How can we apply the principle of calling on God's name in Psalms 79:6 to our own lives?
We can apply this principle by regularly praying to God, thanking Him for His blessings, and seeking His guidance, as instructed in Philippians 4:6 and 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
What is the relationship between God's name and His character in Psalms 79:6?
God's name represents His character, nature, and reputation, and to call on His name is to invoke His power, wisdom, and love, as seen in Exodus 34:5-7, where God proclaims His name and character to Moses.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I have seen God's wrath poured out in the world, and how has it affected my own heart and actions?
- In what ways can I call on God's name in my daily life, and how can I make sure that I am living in a way that honors His name?
- How can I balance the idea of God's wrath with the idea of His love and mercy, and what are some scriptures that help me understand this balance?
- What are some ways that I can acknowledge God's sovereignty and authority in my own life, and how can I make sure that I am submitting to His will?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 79:6
Pour out thy wrath upon the Heathen that have not known thee,.... Who had poured out the blood of the saints like water, and therefore it was a righteous thing with God to pour out the cup of wrath
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 79:6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 79:6
Though we confess that we have deserved thy wrath, yet the heathen, by whom thou hast scourged us, deserve it much more, as being guilty of far greater impieties than we, living in gross ignorance and contempt of God and of his worship; and therefore we pray transfer thy wrath from us to them.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 79:6
Psalms 79:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.Ver. 6. Pour out thy wrath, &c.] Even the full vials of it. That have not known thee] More than by the book of the creatures, wherein there is indeed a τογνωστοντουθεου, something of God manifested, Romans 1:19-20, even his eternal power and Godhead, rendering men without excuse, but nothing of his goodness and patience, leading them to repentance, Psalms 2:4. That have not called upon thy name] A note of profaneness, Psalms 14:4.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 79:6
(6-7) The poet prays in prophetical strain, that the fire of indignation may be turned from Israel and directed against the heathen oppressors, (For the relation to Jeremiah 10:25, see Introduction.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 79:6
Verse 6. Pour out thy wrath] Bad as we are, we are yet less wicked than they. We, it is true, have been unfaithful; but they never knew thy name, and are totally abandoned to idolatry.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 79:6
6. upon the heathen &c.] Not upon the nations as such, but upon the nations which refuse to acknowledge Jehovah, and make havoc of His people. Render with R.V., that know thee not … that call not upon thy name.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 79:6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen - Punish, as they deserve, the nations that have risen up against thy people, and that have brought; desolation upon the land.

6. Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen—All such imprecations must be viewed from the standpoint of justice between nation and nation, and the rights of God in the land and people of his covenant as
