O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

Commentary on Psalms 83:13

Theological / Devotional

A wheel. Heb. galgal, generally “wheel,” although galgal seems also to have been used of the wheel-shaped dried calyx of a thistle (see Isa. 17:13). The prayer is that the enemy may be driven away in utter destruction, as our modern tumbleweed is driven before the wind.

Stubble. Or, “chaff” (see Ps. 1:4). These objects describe that which is utterly light and valueless (Job 13:25; Mal. 4:1), fit only for destruction.
