Thou makest us a strife - An occasion of strife or wrangling; that is, of strife among themselves, to see who will get the most of our spoils; or of contention, to see which could do most to aggravate their sufferings, and to bring disgrace and contempt upon them. They were emulous with each other in the work of desolation and ruin. Unto our neighbors - The surrounding nations. See Psalms 79:4. And our enemies laugh among themselves - Over our calamities. They exult; they glory; they triumph in our ruin. return to 'Top of Page'
