Psalm 83:9
“Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:”
KJV
Read in Psalm 83Meaning
Past deliverances are invoked as precedents for divine rescue, not as a mandate for private or political violence.
Remember earlier deliverances
The prayer recalls earlier biblical victories over oppressors and asks God to act again.
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.
