Psalms 83:13
Compare all
11 Make their nobles like aOreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like bZebah and Zalmunna, 
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”
13 aO my God, make them like the whirling dust,
bLike the chaff before the wind! 
14 As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame asets the mountains on fire, 
15 So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be1 confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, 
18 aThat they may know that You, whose bname alone is the Lord,
Are cthe Most High over all the earth.

Psalms 83:13

O my God, make them like a wheel ... - Or rather, like a rolling thing - something that the wind rolls along. The word galgal - means properly a wheel, as of a chariot, Ezekiel 10:2, Ezekiel 10:6; or a wheel for drawing water from a well, Ecclesiastes 12:6; then, a whirlwind, Psalms 77:19; and then, anything driven before a whirlwind, as chaff, or stubble, Isaiah 17:13. Compare the notes at Isaiah 22:18. The prayer here is, that they might be utterly destroyed, or driven away.
