Psalm 79

Summary: The psalmist cries out to God as His people are in the midst of a great crisis. Foreign powers have reduced cities to rubble and left many dead. The requests are twofold: that God save "us" and kill "them" back.

Response: My heart grows heavy in times of hate and violence. Still, I do my best not to have a vengeful heart. Help me, God, to pray for those I might hate or resent, that Your hand can be seen acting in those situations.
