Psalms 79:13

Compare all

11 Let ^athe groaning of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your¹ power
Preserve those who are appointed to die;

12 And return to our neighbors ^asevenfold into their bosom
^bTheir reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

13 So ^awe, Your people and sheep of Your pasture,
Will give You thanks forever;
^bWe will show forth Your praise to all generations.

Psalms 79:13

So we thy people, and sheep of thy pasture - See the notes at Psalms 74:1.

Will give thee thanks for ever - Will praise thee always; will acknowledge thee as our God, and will evermore render thee thanksgiving.

We will shew forth thy praise to all generations - Margin, as in Hebrew, to generation and generation. That is, We will make arrangements that the memory of these gracious acts shall be transmitted to future times; to distant generations. This was done by the permanent record, made in the Scriptures, of these gracious interpositions of God, and by their being carefully preserved by each generation to whom they came. No work has been more faithfully done than that by which the records of God' s ancient dealings with his people have been preserved from age to age - that by which the sacred Scriptures have been guarded against error, and handed down from one generation to another.
