The Lord Will

Psalm 83:16

β€œFill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 83

Meaning

Even within the imprecation, the desired outcome includes recognition of God rather than annihilation as the only end.

Read carefully

Psalm 83 is an ancient prayer to God and does not authorize private revenge, ethnic hatred, or political violence.

Reflection

Bring the threat before God and pursue just, non-retaliatory action.
