Psalms 83:15

"so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm."

Key Reflection

In Psalms 83:15, "so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm" calls for divine judgment to overwhelm and frighten those who oppose God and His people, emphasizing the power of God's wrath in protecting His followers. This verse reflects both the righteous anger of God against his enemies and the assurance that He will ultimately prevail.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

So persecute them -So pursue them; so follow them up. The word “persecute” is now used in a somewhat different sense, as denoting pain or suffering inflicted on account of religious opinion. It means here simply to pursue. With thy tempest -With the expressions of thy displeasure; with punishment which may be compared with the fury of a storm. And make them afraid with thy storm -Or, Make them afraid, terrify them, so that they will flee away.
