Read Psalm 79
A cry for help and vindication after God's judgment had arrived on the people of God. God's discipline comes slow, but when the hand of judgment comes down it is swift. It begins with those who know why judgment is coming (His people). This song asks the question, "How long will you be angry Lord?"
The answer is that God is quick to forgive, slow to anger, and redemptive even in discipline. In our lives, when judgment and discipline come our way it hurts but serves our benefit and others. If God did not love, no judgments would ever come. Judgment and discipline are proof of His parental loving kindness.
