Psalms 83:16 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 83:16

Compare all

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.

that they may seek—or as Psalms 83:18, supply "men," since Psalms 83:17-18 amplify the sentiment of Psalms 83:16, expressing more fully the measure of destruction, and the lesson of God's being and perfections (compare II Chronicles 20:29) taught to all men.
