Gill's Notes on the Bible
For they have devoured Jacob,.... The posterity of Jacob, the people of the Jews, typical of the church of God, made havoc of by the Romish antichrist: and laid waste his dwelling place; both Jerusalem and the temple, which was done both by the Chaldeans and the Romans, and also in the times of Antiochus; see the Apocrypha:
"38 Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in her; and her own children left her. 39 Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach her honour into contempt.'' (1 Maccabees 1)
"4 In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey. 5 For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.'' (1 Maccabees 3)
which were types of the Gospel church made desolate by the Papists: the word d used signifies a sheepcote, the dwelling place of those sheep that are troubled by the beast of Rome.
d נוהו "caulam ejus", Michaelis.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For they have devoured Jacob - literally, “They have eaten.” That is, they have eaten up what the land produced.
And laid waste his dwelling-place - His home; his habitation; the residence of Jacob, or of the people of Israel.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 79:7. Laid waste his dwelling-place. — The Chaldee understands this of the temple. This, by way of eminence, was Jacob's place. I have already remarked that these two verses are almost similar to Jeremiah 10:25, which has led many to believe that Jeremiah was the author of this Psalm.
