Contextual Overview

⁹ Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: ¹⁰ Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. ¹¹ Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna. ¹² For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession. ¹³ O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind. ¹⁴ As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, ¹⁵ So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind. ¹⁶ Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. ¹⁷ Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish: ¹⁸ That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever,.... As long as they are in this world, and to all eternity in another; a dreadful portion this:

yea, let them be put to shame, and perish; wholly and eternally, in soul and body, for evermore.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let them be confounded - Let them be ashamed. That is, Let them have that kind of shame and confusion which results from the fact that their plans have not been successful, or that they have been foiled and baffled in their schemes.

And troubled - Disturbed; put to confusion. Let them be troubled as men are who are unsuccessful in their projects.

Forever - As a people; as confederated nations; as united in such an unholy alliance. Let them never again be able thus to combine, or to form a compact for the destruction of thy people. This does not refer to them as individuals, but as nations. It is a prayer that they may be so discomfited now that they may see the wickedness and folly of all such efforts, and that they may never again form such a combination.

Yea, let them be put to shame - By utter failure in their schemes.

And perish - Not individually, but as combined - as an alliance. Let there be a complete end to such a confederacy, so that it shall never be seen again.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 83:17. Let them - perish — That is, in their present attempts. Some have objected to the execrations in this Psalm, without due consideration. None of these execrations refer either to their souls or to their eternal state; but merely to their discomfiture on their present attempts. Suppose the continental powers should join together to subjugate Britain, and destroy the Protestant religion; is there a Christian in the land that would not be justified in meeting them with the same or similar execrations? On the knees of my soul would I offer every one of them to God against such invaders. Selah.-A. C.
