83:2 For look, your enemies are making a commotion;
those who hate you are hostile. 1
83:8 Even Assyria has allied with them,
lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. 2 (Selah)
1 tn Heb “lift up [their] head[s].” The phrase “lift up [the] head” here means “to threaten; to be hostile,” as in Judg 8:28.
2 tn Heb “they are an arm for the sons of Lot.” The “arm” is here a symbol of military might.
sn The descendants of Lot were the Moabites and Ammonites.
