The Nations' Conspiracy and the LORD Most High Over All the Earth
The psalm moves from a plea that God not be silent, to the enemy uproar and conspiracy against His treasured people, to the naming of a broad hostile coalition, to historical appeals for God to repeat His saving judgments, to storm-and-fire imagery of enemy overthrow, and finally to the ultimate purpose that the LORD's name be sought and known as supreme over all the earth.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
13Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
16Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
18May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
