Verse 13
3. A promise of future praise 79:13
The psalmist promised that God’s people would reward Him with unceasing praise if He would give them deliverance. He viewed the people as God’s helpless sheep. He said their praise for this salvation would be public from then on.
"The cross of Jesus Christ is for us today the only evidence we need that God loves us (Romans 5:8)." [Note: Wiersbe, The . . . Wisdom . . ., p. 235.]
It is appropriate to petition God for vengeance when enemies defeat God’s people and consequently make Him look bad. He will deliver eventually because He has promised to preserve His own. However, discipline may continue a long time if sin has been gross.
