Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 79:1

1 O God, the heathen are come unto thine inheritance , thy holy temple have they defiled , they have laid Jerusalem on heaps .

As Invaders and Conquerors.

Into Canaan and Iudaea, which thou didst chuse for thine inheritance.

By entring into it, and touching and carrying away its holy Vessels, and shedding blood in it, and burning of it.

Made of the ruines of those goodly houses which they burned, or threw down.
