Tumbleweed, often found in arid regions, is easily blown about by the wind, symbolizing instability and lack of foundation. In biblical times, this imagery would resonate with the audience familiar with the harsh desert landscapes of the Near East. The psalmist's request for God to make the enemies like tumbleweed suggests a desire for their plans to be thwarted and for them to be scattered and ineffective. This reflects a common theme in the Psalms where the psalmist seeks God's justice against adversaries. The invocation "O my God" emphasizes a personal relationship with God, highlighting trust and reliance on divine power.<p><b>like chaff before the wind</b><br>Chaff is the husk of grain that is separated and discarded during the threshing process. In ancient agricultural practices, chaff was considered worthless and was easily carried away by the wind. This imagery is used throughout Scripture to depict the fate of the wicked, as seen in <a href="/job/21-18.htm">Job 21:18</a> and <a href="/psalms/1-4.htm">Psalm 1:4</a>. The comparison to chaff underscores the transitory and insubstantial nature of the enemies' power and influence. The wind, often a metaphor for God's judgment or spirit, suggests that divine intervention will render the enemies powerless and dispersed. This phrase aligns with the biblical theme of God's ultimate sovereignty and justice, where the wicked are eventually brought to nothing.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asaph.htm">Asaph</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/83.htm">Psalm 83</a>, Asaph was a prominent Levite singer and seer in David's court.

"At the proper season thousands of them come suddenly over the plain, rolling, leaping, bounding with vast racket, to the dismay both of the horse and rider."
