Context of Psalms 83:15
13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind. 14Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire, So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm. 16Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O Lord. 17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,

Commentaries on Psalms 83:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15So persecute them - In this and the two following verses we find several awful execrations; and all this seems to be done in reference to that ancient custom, "pouring execrations on an enemy previously to battle." Of this I have already given specimens in this work; and the reader is particularly requested to refer to the case of Balaam being hired by the king of Moab to curse Israel previously to his intended attack: see the note on Numbers 22:6, where…Read the comment

Let them be made to fear thy name, and perhaps that will bring them to seek thy…Read the comment
