His love endure forever

Psalm 79:1-13
The worst situation in Israel: Jerusalem have been reduced to rubble, the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, we are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
Prayed to the Lord,
1)Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you.
2)Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers
3)May your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.
4)Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the out poured blood of your servants.
Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever.
A lament for the destruction and bloodshed of the full of Jerusalem.
Why?
Leave bodies unburied was shameful.
Psalmist was groaned and grief to these worse situation they had suffered.
Psalmist knew it is the sins of the fathers made the Lord wrath poured upon them, so he prayed to the Lord. He prayed to the right direction.
The shameful things are worse than be put to dead.
How?
Thanks Lord I do not suffered such bad grief as Israelite suffered, but it is a warning to us that if we do not repent to the Lord will suffer even worse than them had. The Lord give us a little time to repent, turn to Him. His love endures forever.
