Psalms 83:14

Compare all

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.

Psalms 83:14

As the fire burneth a wood ... - The same idea is here presented under another form. No image of desolation is more fearful than that of fire raging in a forest; or of fire on the mountains. As trees and shrubs and grass fall before such a flame, so the prayer is, that they who had combined against the people of God might be swept away by his just displeasure.
