Psalm 83


Listen Later

Name is a key idea in the Psalm appearing in vs. 4, 16, 18.

vs. 1-5 Petition to God in the midst of crisis
The enemies are God's enemies in vs. 2, 5
They are enemies of Israel in vs. 3-4

vs. 6-8 A roll call of the enemies
These 10 groups seem to represent Israel's enemies past and present

vs. 9-12 Deal with them as You dealt with the enemies of Your people in the days of the judges
Jabin and Sisera- Judges 4-5
Oreb, Zeeb, Zebah, and Zalmunna- Judges 7-8
Interestingly, the judges are not mentioned. The emphasis is on God and HIs deliverance.

vs. 13-18 Bring judgment upon them that all may seek You
Those who sought to destroy the name of Israel (vs. 4) and now called upon to seek the name of the LORD (vs. 16)  and it is the LORD's name who is exalted in all the earth (vs. 18).
