Psalms 80:6

6 You let the surrounding nations fight over our land; our enemies insult us.

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.
