Commentary on Psalms 83:4

Theological / Devotional

Cut them off. The verse indicates the presence of a well-conceived plot on the part of the surrounding nations to blot out Israel from among the nations, probably with the intention of partitioning her land among themselves (see 2 Chron. 20:11; Ps. 138:7).

No more in remembrance. Compare Deut. 32:26; Ps. 34:16 ; 109:13. It has always been Satan’s desire to destroy the church of God. To the enemy, the words “Christ” and “Christian” are objects of supreme contempt.
