Psalms 83:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 83:17

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever
As long as they are in this world, and to all eternity in another; a dreadful portion this:

yea, let them be put to shame, and perish;
wholly and eternally, in soul and body, for evermore.

Psalms 83:17 In-Context

15 Knock the breath right out of them, so they're gasping
16 for breath, gasping, "God."
17 Bring them to the end of their rope, and leave them there dangling, helpless.
18 Then they'll learn your name: "God," the one and only High God on earth.
