Bible Commentary

Psalms 74:23

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Forget not the voice of thine enemies. God does not forget insults of this kind, but punishes them (see 2 Kings 19:28, "Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou earnest"). He punished Babylon after a time with extreme severity (see Jeremiah 50:1-46 and Jeremiah 51:1-64). The tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually; rather, ascendeth continually—goes up before God's throne, crying for vengeance (comp. Genesis 4:10; Genesis 18:20, Genesis 18:21; Exodus 3:9, etc.).
