Psalm 83
Concise Complete
The designs of the enemies of Israel. (1-8) Earnest prayer for their
defeat. (9-18)
Verses 1-8
Sometimes God seems not to be concerned at the unjust treatment of his people.
But then we may call upon him, as the psalmist here. All wicked people are God's
enemies, especially wicked persecutors. The Lord's people are his hidden one;
the world knows them not. He takes them under his special protection. Do the
enemies of the church act with one consent to destroy it, and shall not the
friends of the church be united? Wicked men wish that there might be no religion
among mankind. They would gladly see all its restraints shaken off, and all that
preach, profess, or practise it, cut off. This they would bring to pass if it
were in their power. The enemies of God's church have always been many: this
magnifies the power of the Lord in preserving to himself a church in the world.
Verses 9-18 All
who oppose the kingdom of Christ may here read their doom. God is the same still
that ever he was; the same to his people, and the same against his and their
enemies. God would make their enemies like a wheel; unsettled in all their
counsels and resolves. Not only let them be driven away as stubble, but burnt as
stubble. And this will be the end of wicked men. Let them be made to fear thy
name, and perhaps that will bring them to seek thy name. We should desire no
confusion to our enemies and persecutors but what may forward their conversion.
The stormy tempest of Divine vengeance will overtake them, unless they repent
and seek the pardoning mercy of their offended Lord. God's triumphs over his
enemies, clearly prove that he is, according to his name JEHOVAH, an almighty
Being, who has all power and perfection in himself. May we fear his wrath, and
yield ourselves to be his willing servants. And let us seek deliverance by the
destruction of our fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
