Pour out Your wrath
The phrase "Pour out Your wrath" invokes the imagery of a liquid being released from a container, symbolizing the full and unrestrained expression of God's righteous anger. In Hebrew, the word for "wrath" is "chemah," which conveys a burning anger or fury. This reflects God's holiness and justice, as He responds to the persistent rebellion and idolatry of the nations. Historically, this plea for divine retribution is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God promised to protect His people and judge their enemies.

on the nations that do not acknowledge You
The "nations" refer to the Gentile peoples surrounding Israel, who were often polytheistic and engaged in practices contrary to the worship of Yahweh. The Hebrew word for "acknowledge" is "yada," meaning to know intimately or recognize. This highlights the spiritual blindness and deliberate rejection of God by these nations. From a historical perspective, these nations often oppressed Israel, and their failure to acknowledge God is seen as a direct affront to His sovereignty.

on the families that do not call on Your name
"Families" here can be understood as extended kinship groups or tribes. The phrase "do not call on Your name" indicates a lack of prayer, worship, and reliance on God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, calling on a deity's name was an act of worship and dependence. The absence of this practice among these families signifies their spiritual estrangement and self-reliance, which ultimately leads to their downfall.

For they have devoured Jacob
"Jacob" is a metonym for the nation of Israel, reflecting their ancestral lineage. The term "devoured" suggests a violent and complete consumption, akin to a predator consuming its prey. This imagery underscores the severity of the oppression and destruction that Israel faced at the hands of these nations. Historically, this can be linked to various invasions and exiles that Israel experienced, which were often seen as divine judgments for their own unfaithfulness.

they have consumed him and finished him off
The repetition of "consumed" and the phrase "finished him off" emphasize the totality of the destruction. In Hebrew, the word "kalah" (finished) implies bringing something to an end or completion. This reflects the dire situation of Israel, where the nation's very existence was threatened. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the need for divine intervention.

and laid waste his homeland
The "homeland" refers to the land of Israel, which was central to the identity and covenant promises given to the descendants of Abraham. The phrase "laid waste" indicates desolation and ruin, often as a result of warfare or divine judgment. Archaeologically, evidence of such destruction can be seen in the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. This devastation serves as a call to repentance and a return to covenant faithfulness, highlighting the hope of restoration through God's mercy and grace.

(25) Pour out thy fury.--The words are identical with those of Psalm 79:6-7, but it is more probable that the Psalmist borrowed from the Prophet. By many critics the Psalm is referred to the time of the Maccabees, and it would seem, from the language of Jeremiah 10:1-3, that it must at any rate have been after the destruction of the Temple by the Chaldeans. On the last supposition the two writers may have been contemporaries.

Verse 25. - This verse is repeated, with slight differences, in Psalm 79:6, 7. The fault of the heathen is that they exceeded their commission (Isaiah 10:6, 7; Isaiah 47:6; Zechariah 1:15), and aimed at destroying, instead of merely punishing, Jehovah's erring people. His habitation; rather, his pasture (comp. Jeremiah 12:10)
