Psalms 83:15
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
BSB
ASV
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.
KJV
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
So shall you pursue them in your tempest, and in your wrath... What? will you kill them? No: you will trouble them, that they may be saved.
So persecute them with thy tempest,.... Pursue them with thy fury, follow them with thy vengeance; cause it to fall upon them like a mighty tempest: and make them afraid with thy storm; God has his storms and tempests of wrath and vengeance, which he sometimes causes to fall upon wicked men in this life, to their inexpressible terror, and with which he takes them out of this world; and he has still more horrible ones to rain upon them hereafter: see Job 27:20.
This, in the singing of it, we may apply to the enemies of the gospel-church, all anti-christian powers and factions, representing to God their confederacies against Christ and his kingdom, and rejoicing in the hope that all their projects will be baffled and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
