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 whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so do thou pursue them with thy tempest and terrify them with thy hurricane!
16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; let them perish in disgrace.
