Psalm 83:16 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 83.

12 who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”

13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

15 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

17 May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.

18 May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
