Notes on this text (3)

1 A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. 2 O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God. 3 For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 4 Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints. 5 They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all. 6 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee; 7 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; 8 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. 9 Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause. 10 Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. 11 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth. 12 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes: 13 who said, Let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance. 14 O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind. 15 As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains; 16 so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger. 17 Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord. 18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed. 19 And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 83.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXII)

    This Psalm, like others similarly named, was so entitled either from the name of the man who wrote it, or from the explanation of that same name, so as to refer in meaning to the Synagogue, which Asaph signifies; especially as this is intimated in the first verse. For it begins, "God stood in the synagogue of gods" (ver. 1).

  2. Quotes verse 83:16 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 12–13)

    And this is averred by the sacred Psalmist when he says, "Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Thy name, O Lord;" that is, that they who have pleased themselves in seeking their own glory may be pleased and satisfied with Thee in seeking Thy glory.

  3. Quotes verse 83:3 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book III, Chapters XII–XIV)

    Sometimes it signifies exhortation: as when the divine apostle says, Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord; yet I give my judgment: sometimes it means counsel, as when the prophet David says, They have taken crafty counsel against Thy people: sometimes it means a decree, as when we read in Daniel, Concerning whom (or, what) went …
