Psalms 83:15

83:15 chase them with your gale winds,

and terrify them with your windstorm.

Psalms 55:8

55:8 I will hurry off to a place that is safe

from the strong wind and the gale.”


tn The two imperfect verbal forms in v. 15 express the psalmist’s wish or prayer.

tn Heb “[the] wind [that] sweeps away.” The verb סָעָה (saah, “sweep away”) occurs only here in the OT (see H. R. Cohen, Biblical Hapax Legomena [SBLDS], 120).
