Psalms 83:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 83:4

2 For behold, ^aYour enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have¹ lifted up their head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together ^aagainst Your sheltered ones.

4 They have said, “Come, and ^alet us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 For they have consulted together with one¹ consent;
They¹ form a confederacy against You:

6 ^aThe tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

9 Deal with them as with ^aMidian,
As with ^bSisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

10 Who perished at En Dor,
^aWho became as refuse on the earth.
