Gill's Notes on the Bible
Pour out thine indignation upon them,.... Not a few drops of it only, but a flood of it, sweeping away and bearing down all before it; which was done when wrath came upon them to the uttermost, in the destruction of their city, temple, and nation, 1 Thessalonians 2:16;
let thy wrathful anger take hold of them; follow after them, overtake them, seize upon them, and hold them fast, that they may not escape. It denotes the severity of God towards them; the fierceness and fury of his wrath upon them; and that their destruction would be inevitable, and an entire and utter one.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Pour out thine indignation upon them - That is, Punish them for their sins; or, do justice to them.
And let thy wrathful anger - literally, “the burning of thy wrath;” glow of anger; burning wrath. See Numbers 25:4; Num 32:14, 1 Samuel 28:18. This is undoubtedly a petition that God would visit them with the severity of his indignation; or, it expresses the belief of the psalmist that they “deserved” such tokens of his displeasure.
Take hold of them - Seize upon them; overtake them when they expect to escape.
