How are the words at Psalms 83:18 rendered in your Bible and what does those words mean?

Answer 1

Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. (NIV)

Answer 2

Have only 3 Bibles, each one uses the name Jehovah at Ps. 83:18

THE first piece of literature known to have been written and published in England’s American colonies was the Bay Psalm Book. Its original edition was printed by Stephen Daye in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the year 1640. That early publication contained the Bible book of Psalms, translated from Hebrew into the English language as spoken and written at that time.

A noteworthy feature of the Bay Psalm Book was the use of the divine name in some verses. Hence, anyone reading that publication as far back as some 350 years ago was in a position to know the name of our Creator. In that edition, for instance, Psalm 83:17, 18 reads: “Confounded let them ever be, and terriblie troubled: yea, let them be put unto shame, and bee extinguished. That men may know; that thou whose name IEHOVAH is only, art over all the earth throughout advanced the most high.”

Of course, the most high God requires more than our acknowledgment that his name is Jehovah (Iehovah). In the Bay Psalm Book, Psalm 1:1, 2 says that a “blessed man” does not walk in the advice of the wicked, “but in the law of Iehovah, is his longing delight.” The revised New England Psalms of 1648 says: “But he upon Jehovah’s law doth set his whole delight.”

To be truly happy, a person must reject the counsel of wicked ones. He must not follow the example of sinners and cannot join in company with godless ridiculers. Among other things, he needs to avoid the association of those whose advice and conduct could lure him into sexual immorality, drug abuse, and other activities contrary to God’s law. Yes, genuine happiness depends on learning about the true God, whose name is Jehovah, and applying his law as revealed in the Bible.

Answer 3

The words of (Psalms 83:18) that are rendered in my Bible says: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah (meaning GOD) art the most high over all the earth).....It means just what is says: Jehovah (meaning GOD) is the one who Reigns & Rules over all the earth!........ps. many names was given to God in the old testament!

Answer 4

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
KJV

You will find that throughout the Psalms it shows the coming of Jesus and identifies him in many ways. Calling him the Word of God and Jehovah.

Answer 5

As I always say with questions like these... don't forget not to take a single verse out of context with the surrounding verses... ok?

Now... in my Bible (KJV), David is pleading with the Lord to bring destruction on Israel's enemies in chapter 83. In verses 17 and 18... "Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: (18) That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

David is simply asking God to destroy the enemies, that other men may see it and know that God (Jehovah) is high over all earth. He rules it, and his enemies will be destroyed.

Answer 6

In the KJV, it reads: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." It is a continuation of the thought of the whole Psalm. Beginning in verses 1-2, we read: "Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head." So we see that the Psalm is a prayer to God regarding the enemies of God. Verse 18 completes the thought of verse 17: "Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:" In short, the psalmist asks God to openly defeat His enemies to show His glory and power over the whole earth.

Answer 7

Psalm 83:18
That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Answer 8

Psalm 83 (NIV)

1 O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.
2 See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.

4 "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more."
5 With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you-
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Gebal, [a] Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot.
Selah (meditate on this)

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor and became like refuse on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest or 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 so that men will seek your name, O LORD.
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.

18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD—that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

I've chosen to reprint the entire chapter so that the verse won't be taken out of context.

Thank you for your question. It made me go look it up and I feel so blessed by reading this chapter. David wrote this amazing prose to attest to the mighty character of God and to his faith that God can handle all manner of evil that comes against Him or His children. David is asking that God shows Himself strong against His enemies.

Answer 9

That men may know that YOu, whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth. Jesus is to be known as the Most High or God over all the Earth.

Answer 10

it's saying that we(all of us in the entire world), will know that his name is "LORD". there's no other idol, god , graven image, saint, in this world that's greater then the lord. There's only 1 lord, jesus christ, god . He's the greatest over anyone, & or anything in this entire world.
He's the alpha, omega, the beginning & the end.
other religions can be worshipped, prayed too, but in the bible it states: 1 of the 10 commandments is: thou shalt have no other god's before me, any graven image(s). i'm a jealous god.
no one or nothing can compare to our lord.

Answer 11

You have to read it in it's context to understand it.

Ps 83:18
v9-18 All who oppose the kingdom of Christ may here read their doom. God is the same still that ever he was; the same to his people, and the same against his and their enemies. God would make their enemies like a wheel; unsettled in all their counsels and resolves. Not only let them be driven away as stubble, but burnt as stubble. And this will be the end of wicked men. Let them be made to fear thy name, and perhaps that will bring them to seek thy name. We should desire no confusion to our enemies and persecutors but what may forward their conversion. The stormy tempest of Divine vengeance will overtake them, unless they repent and seek the pardoning mercy of their offended Lord. God's triumphs over his enemies, clearly prove that he is, according to his name JEHOVAH, an almighty Being, who has all power and perfection in himself. May we fear his wrath, and yield ourselves to be his willing servants. And let us seek deliverance by the destruction of our fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
