Psalm 83:5b "They form a confederacy against You."
Day 227 – Psalm 83
“They form a confederacy against You.” Psalm 83:5b
A HISTORICAL CONTEXT
What was Asaph’s actual concern? The following text gives us an indication of the enemies that had allied themselves to form a confederacy against Israel.
“For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You:
They tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot.”
Psalm 83:5-8
