4 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
83:3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
5 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
83:4 “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
6 For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
83:5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
8 Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

11 Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.

12 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
13 Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.

14 O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.
83:13 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
15 As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:

16 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.

17 Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.

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 …
