span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.78.1" class="versetxt"> Psalmus Asaph. [Deus, venerunt gentes in h�reditatem tuam;
polluerunt templum sanctum tuum;
posuerunt Jerusalem in pomorum custodiam.
Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus c�li;
carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terr�.
Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Jerusalem,
et non erat qui sepeliret.
Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris;
subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt.
Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem?
accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?
Effunde iram tuam in gentes qu� te non noverunt,
et in regna qu� nomen tuum non invocaverunt:
quia comederunt Jacob,
et locum ejus desolaverunt.
Ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum;
cito anticipent nos misericordi� tu�,
quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster,
et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos:
et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
Ne forte dicant in gentibus: Ubi est Deus eorum?
et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris
ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum qui effusus est.
Intro�at in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum;
secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum:
et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum;
improperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine.
Nos autem populus tuus, et oves pascu� tu�,
confitebimur tibi in s�culum;
in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He made a way to his anger,.... Or, "for" it, so that nothing could obstruct it, or hinder the execution of it; or "he weighed a path for his anger" m; he weighed it in the balance of justice, and proportioned his anger to their crimes, and punished them according to their just deserts:

he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; which some understand of their cattle, and of the murrain that came upon them, by which they were destroyed, and which was the fifth plague of Egypt, Exodus 9:3, so the Targum,

"their beasts he delivered unto death;''

but Aben Ezra interprets it of the slaughter of the firstborn, expressed in the following verse; and so others.

m יפלס נתיב לאפו "ponderavit semitam furori suo", Pagninus, Vatablus; "libravit semitam irae suae", Tigurine version; "iter ad iram suam", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He made a way to his anger - Margin, he weighed a path. He leveled a path for it; he took away all hindrance to it; he allowed it to have free scope. The idea of weighing is not in the original. The allusion is to a preparation made by which one can march along freely, and without any obstruction. See the notes at Isaiah 40:3-4.

He spared not their soul from death - He spared not their lives. That is, he gave them over to death.

But gave their life over to the pestilence - Margin, their beasts to the murrain. The original will admit of either interpretation, but the connection seems rather to demand the interpretation which is in the text. Both these things, however, occurred.
