Psalm 80:6

6 You've put us at odds with our neighbors; our enemies make fun of us.

Psalm 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.

Psalm 80:6 In-Context

4 LORD God of heavenly forces, how long will you fume against your people's prayer?

5 You've fed them bread made of tears; you've given them tears to drink three times over!

6 You've put us at odds with our neighbors; our enemies make fun of us.

7 Restore us, God of heavenly forces! Make your face shine so that we can be saved!

8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations and planted it.
