Psalms 83:16 Context
14As the fire burneth a wood: and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire: 15So persecute them with thy tempest: and make them afraid with thy storme. 16Fill their faces with shame: that they may seeke thy name, O Lord. 17Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea let them be put to shame, and perish: 18That men may knowe, that thou, whose name alone is IEHOVAH: art the most High ouer all the earth.
