Psalm 79

Faith amid Confusion

A psalm of Asaph.^(A)

¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking,^(A) and another holy one said to the speaker, “How long will the events of this vision last^(B)—the regular sacrifice, the rebellion that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and of the army to be trampled?” ^(C)

² But exclude the courtyard outside the temple.^(A) Don’t measure it, because it is given to the nations,^[a](B) and they will trample the holy city^(C) for forty-two months.^(D)
