Like fire that burns the forestAnd like a flame that burns up the mountains,
Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
Lyke as a fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flambe that consumeth the mountaynes.
As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,
As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
As the fire burns a forest, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
Be like a fire that destroys a forest or like a flame that sets the hills on fire.
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
As the fire burneth a wood: and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
Like as a fyre that burneth vp the wodd, & as the flame that consumeth the mountaynes.
Like fire consumes the forest, And like the flame sets the mountains on fire,
As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,
As the fire that burns the forest, And as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides,
Just as flames destroy forests on the mountains,
My God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff driven by the wind.
As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
As the fire burns a forest and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
As the fire that burns up the trees and spreads over the mountains,
As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire;
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
As a fire burneth a forest, - And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,
(82-15) As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:
As fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets afire mountains,
As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
Be like a fire that burns a forest or like flames that blaze through the hills.
As fire burns the forest, as flames set the hills on fire,
As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains,
As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
As the fire burneth the wood,.... Or "forest" m; which is sometimes done purposely, and sometimes through carelessness, as Virgil n observes; and which is done very easily and swiftly, when fire is set to it; even all the trees of it, great and small, to which an army is sometimes compared, Isaiah 10:18, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; either the mountains themselves, as Etna, Vesuvius, and others; or rather the grass and trees that grow upon them, smitten by lightning from heaven, which may be meant by the flame: in like manner it is wished that the fire and flame of divine wrath would consume the confederate enemies of Israel, above mentioned; as wicked men are but as trees of the forest, and the grass of the mountains, or as thorns and briers, to the wrath of God, which is poured out as fire, and is signified by everlasting burnings.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As the fire burneth a wood ... - The same idea is here presented under another form. No image of desolation is more fearful than that of fire raging in a forest; or of fire on the mountains. As trees and shrubs and grass fall before such a flame, so the prayer is, that they who had combined against the people of God might be swept away by his just displeasure.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 83:14. The flame setteth the mountains on fire — This may refer to the burning of the straw and chaff, after the grain was threshed and winnowed. And as their threshing-floors were situated often on the hills or mountains, to take the advantage of the wind, the setting the mountains on fire may refer to the burning of the chaff, &c., in those places. Let them be like stubble driven away by the wind, and burnt by the fire.
