Psalms 79:6-7

79:6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you,

on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!

79:7 For they have devoured Jacob

and destroyed his home.


tn Heb “which do not know you.” Here the Hebrew term “know” means “acknowledge the authority of.”

sn The kingdoms that do not pray to you. The people of these kingdoms pray to other gods, not the Lord, because they do not recognize his authority over them.
