Psalms 80:6 meaning and explanation
You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.
Psalms 80:6, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The psalmist Asaph speaks for a defeated nation, likely the northern tribes after Assyria's assault, and he names God as the one behind their humiliation. The Hebrew verb for contend carries the sense of strife or quarreling, so the verse pictures Israel's neighbours as adversaries in a dispute, while enemies openly jeer.
