Psalm 83 The background of Psalm 83 may be when Moab, Ammon, and Edom came to attack King Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20).The main characteristic of Psalm 83 is that although it is a prayer of God's people seeking help from God in distress, the entire psalm centers on God and His name, without mentioning "us." It focuses on God and His name being insulted and challenged, which is the basis of their plea to God.
Therefore, in our distress, in our difficulties, do we also often focus on God? Are we seeking God's name to be exalted, or just seeking solutions to our own problems? Our own needs to be met?
Psalm 83:2-3: How do God's people regard those who persecute them? Who are they persecuting exactly? People or God? How does this help your attitude when facing persecution today?
Psalm 83:13-16: What is the ultimate goal for God's people praying against their enemies? How should we pray for those who persecute us?https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PSA.83.ESV
