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 ) .

13 My God! I've had it with them! Blow them away! Tumbleweeds in the desert waste,

14 charred sticks in the burned-over ground.

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.
