This Psalm is an elegy describing the total destruction of Jerusalem by the invading Babylonian Army.
The Psalmist begins by recounting the savage attack on the LORD 's property, KJV Psalms 79:1O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; Thy Holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. Then he gives an account of the horrific massacre and captivity of the Citizens of Jerusalem, KJV Psalms 79:2 The dead bodies of Thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
An urgent earnest appeal is cued out to God for rescue and revenge, KJV Psalms 79:6-7 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known Thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon Thy Name. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
The Psalmist concludes with the assurance that his Prayer will be answered and therefore he offers Praise and Thanksgiving in advance , KJV Psalms 79:12-13 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. So we Thy people and sheep of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth Thy praise to all generations.

Whether or not this may be your case, please join us on Prayers of Hope as we focus on our God who never loses a battle because He all powerful and mighty to rescue and save His faithful Soldiers of the Cross.
