Gill's Notes on the Bible
Forget not the voice of thine enemies,.... Their roaring in the midst of the sanctuary and the congregation, Psalms 74:4, their reproaching and blaspheming voice, Psalms 74:10,
the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually, or "ascendeth" i; goes up to God, and is taken notice of by him; the cry of their sins, like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and of the city of Nineveh, Genesis 18:20, was continually going up to God; wherefore it might be hoped and expected that vengeance in a little time would come down; see Revelation 18:5, the Septuagint, and the versions that follow that, render it, "the pride of those", c. all these petitions are prayers of faith, and are, or will be, heard and answered upon which will follow thanksgivings, with which the next psalm begins.
i עולה תמיד "ascendens semper", Montanus; "ascendit semper", V. L. Musculus, Gejerus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Forget not the voice of thine enemies - The voice of thine enemies clamoring for the destruction of thy people. Compare Psalms 137:7. The prayer is, that God would bring deserved chastisement upon them for their purposes and their aims against his people. It is not necessarily a prayer for vengeance; it is a prayer for just retribution.
The tumult of those that rise up against thee - Of those that make war on thee, and on thy people. The word ““tumult” here means clamor or shout - as the shout of battle. The reference is to the movement of a host pressing on to conquest, encouraging and exciting each other, and endeavoring to intimidate their enemies by the loud clamor of the war-cry. It is a description of what had occurred among the main events referred to in the psalm, when the enemy came in to lay waste the capital, and to spread desolation throughout the land.
Increaseth continually - Margin, as in Hebrew, “Ascendeth.” That is, it seems to go up; it is the swelling clamor of a great multitude of warriors intent on conquest. A cry or clamor thus seems to swell or rise on the air, and (as it were) to ascend to God. The prayer here is, that God would regard that cry, not in the sense that he would grant them the fulfillment of their wishes, but in the sense that he would recompense them as they deserved. It is in this sense that the clamors of the wicked ascend to heaven - in this sense that God will regard them, as if they were a prayer for just retribution.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 74:23. Forget not the voice — While we pray to thee for our own salvation, we call upon thee to vindicate thy injured honour: and let all the nations see that thou lovest thy followers, and hatest those who are thy enemies. Let not man prevail against thee or thine.
ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-FOURTH PSALM
This Psalm divides itself into two parts: -
I. The Psalmist's complaint, Psalms 74:1-10.
II. His prayer, Psalms 74:10-23.
Both the complaint and petition are summarily comprised in the three first verses; and afterwards amplified throughout the Psalm.
I. He expostulates with God about their calamity.
1. From the author of it: "Thou, O God."
2. From the extremity of it: "Cast us not off."
3. From the duration of it: "For ever."
4. From the cause: "Thy anger smokes against us."
5. From the object of it: "The sheep of thy pasture."
To his complaint he subjoins his petition; in which every word has the strength of an argument.
1. "Remember thy congregation:" Thy chosen people.
2. "Whom thou hast purchased: " By a mighty hand from Pharaoh.
3. "Of old:" Thy people ever since thy covenant with Abraham.
4. "The rod of thine inheritance;" dwelling in that land which thou didst measure out to them.
5. "Whom thou hast redeemed:" From the Canaanites, c.
6. "This Mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt:" Where we gave thee the worship which belonged to the true God and thou wert pleased with our sacrifices and services. Remember this people, and all these engagements; and "cast us not off for ever."
7. Lift up thy feet:" Consider thy own dishonour; they are thy enemies as well as ours. See what they have done against thee, thy temple, thy ordinances. Look at their blasphemies, and avenge the quarrel of thy covenant, Psalms 74:3-11.
Consider what thou hast done for our fore-fathers.
1. Thou hast been long our King and Deliverer. See the proofs, Psalms 74:12-16.
2. Thy general providence respects all men. Thou hast given them light; the sun and moon, the vicissitude of seasons, c., Psalms 74:16-17.
II. The psalmist's prayer: -
1. That God would remember the reproaches of his enemies, Psalms 74:18.
2. That he would deliver the souls of his children, Psalms 74:19.
3. That he would not forget "the congregation of the poor," Psalms 74:19.
4. That he would remember his covenant with Abram, to make them an innumerable people, and a blessing to all mankind, Psalms 74:20.
5. That, when they did return, they might not be a diminished people for their enemies were determined to destroy them, Psalms 74:21.
6. That they might be led from all considerations to praise his name, Psalms 74:21.
At the conclusion he urges his petition: -
1. "Arise, - plead thine own cause."
2. "Remember the foolish."
3. "Forget not thine enemies."
4. They make a tumult, and their partisans daily increase, Psalms 74:22-23.
