Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-13 - Those who persist in ignorance of God, and neglect of prayer, are the ungodly. How unrighteous soever men were, the Lord was righteous i permitting them to do what they did. Deliverances from trouble ar mercies indeed, when grounded upon the pardon of sin; we shoul therefore be more earnest in prayer for the removal of our sins tha for the removal of afflictions. They had no hopes but from God' mercies, his tender mercies. They plead no merit, they pretend to none but, Help us for the glory of thy name; pardon us for thy name's sake The Christian forgets not that he is often bound in the chain of his sins. The world to him is a prison; sentence of death is passed upo him, and he knows not how soon it may be executed. How fervently shoul he at all times pray, O let the sighing of a prisoner come before thee according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that ar appointed to die! How glorious will the day be, when, triumphant ove sin and sorrow, the church beholds the adversary disarmed for ever while that church shall, from age to age, sing the praises of her grea Shepherd and Bishop, her King and her God _________________________________________________
