Psalms 83:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 83:15

So persecute them with thy tempest
Pursue them with thy fury, follow them with thy vengeance; cause it to fall upon them like a mighty tempest:

and make them afraid with thy storm;
God has his storms and tempests of wrath and vengeance, which he sometimes causes to fall upon wicked men in this life, to their inexpressible terror, and with which he takes them out of this world; and he has still more horrible ones to rain upon them hereafter: see ( Job 27:20 Job 27:21 ) ( Psalms 11:6 ) .

Psalms 83:15 In-Context

13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.
14 Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD .
17 Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,
