Fausset and David Brown [1882]\nGod addressed as indifferent (compare Psa 35:22; Psa 39:12).\nbe not still--literally, \"not quiet,\" as opposed to action.\nthine enemies--as well as ours (Psa 74:23; Isa 37:23).\nhidden ones--whom God specially protects (Psa 27:5; Psa 91:1).\nfrom being a nation--utter destruction (Isa 7:8; Isa 23:1).\nIsrael--here used for Judah, having been the common name.\nthey have consulted--with heart, or cordially.\ntogether--all alike.\ntabernacles--for people (Psa 78:67).\nthey--all these united with the children of Lot, or Ammonites and Moabites (compare Ch2 20:1).\nCompare the similar fate of these (Ch2 20:23) with that of the foes mentioned in Jdg 7:22, here referred to. They destroyed one another (Jdg. 4:6-24; Jdg 7:25). Human remains form manure (compare Kg2 9:37; Jer 9:22).\nThe language of the invaders.\nhouses--literally, \"residences,\" enclosures, as for flocks (Psa 65:12).\nof God--as the proprietors of the land (Ch2 20:11; Isa 14:25).\nlike a wheel--or, whirling of any light thing (Isa 17:13), as stubble or chaff (Psa 1:4).\nPursue them to an utter destruction.\nthat they may seek--or as Psa 83:18, supply \"men,\" since Psa 83:17-18 amplify the sentiment of Psa 83:16, expressing more fully the measure of destruction, and the lesson of God's being and perfections (compare Ch2 20:29) taught to all men.","title":"A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments: Psalms: Psalms Chapter 83","type":"page"}
