Psalms 83:18

Verse 18

18. That men may know The knowing God which is here intended, is a true perception and discovery of his supremacy over all gods and all nations of the earth.

The ultimate idea of knowledge unto salvation must not be excluded, but first of all their armament must be crushed, their plans defeated, their faces filled with shame, and they terrified and swept away in a tempest of wrath, that they may see their gods are nothing, and that they may know that “the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men.” See Daniel 4:17; Daniel 4:34-37; Psalms 59:13; 1 Samuel 17:46.
