Psalms 80:6

Compare all

4 O Lord God of hosts,
^aHow long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?

5 ^aYou have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.

6 You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

8 You have brought ^aa vine out of Egypt;
^bYou have cast out the¹ nations, and planted it.

Psalms 80:6

Thou makest us a strife - An occasion of strife or wrangling; that is, of strife among themselves, to see who will get the most of our spoils; or of contention, to see which could do most to aggravate their sufferings, and to bring disgrace and contempt upon them. They were emulous with each other in the work of desolation and ruin.

Unto our neighbors - The surrounding nations. See Psalms 79:4.

And our enemies laugh among themselves - Over our calamities. They exult; they glory; they triumph in our ruin.
