How will we respond when those who oppress and insult us are humbled by God? The last phrase of psalm 79 gives us a focal point; give thanks to God. The world will tell us to claim victory over those who opposed us. The Psalmist says to give thanks to God. Our friends may suggest a party to celebrate liberation. The Psalmist draws our attention to the one who brought justice. There will be many suggestions that our flesh offers. We are to reject each one and give thanks to our God. That is the way believers react to justice.
