Psalms 81:15 - Exposition

The haters of the Lord. Israel's enemies are always spoken of as God's enemies also (comp. Psalms 3:2 , Psalms 3:7 ; Psalms 9:3 ; Psalms 68:1 ; Psalms 79:6 , Psalms 79:7 , etc.). They "hate" Jehovah ( Psalms 21:8 ; Psalms 83:2 ), not merely as Israel's Protecter, but as the Source of all good, whereas they delight in evil. Should have submitted themselves unto him; rather, should submit themselves, or " should yield feigned obedience" . But their time ( i.e. Israel's time) should have endured forever; rather, should endure.
