Psalms 80:6

6 You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

Psalms 80:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 80:6

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours
Either obliges us to contend with them for our defence and safety; or having given us into their hands, they strive and contend one with another about dividing the spoil:

and our enemies laugh among themselves;
at us, and because there is no help for us in God, as they imagine; or at God himself, as Kimchi, saying he cannot save as.

Psalms 80:6 In-Context

4 O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?

5 You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.

6 You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

7 Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

8 You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.
