Psalms 83:8

83:8 Even Assyria has allied with them,

lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. ¹  (Selah)

Psalms 89:13

89:13 Your arm is powerful,

your hand strong,

your right hand ²  victorious. ³ 

[83:8]  ¹ tn Heb “they are an arm for the sons of Lot.” The “arm” is here a symbol of military might.

[89:13]  ² sn The Lord’s arm, hand, and right hand all symbolize his activities, especially his exploits in war.

[89:13]  ³ tn Heb “is lifted up.” The idiom “the right hand is lifted up” refers to victorious military deeds (see Pss 89:42; 118:16).
