Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves." — Psalms 80:6 (ASV)
A strife — that is, an object of contention. In no other sense could Israel be a strife to neighbouring nations. For the bearing of this on the date of the psalm, see its Introduction.
Laugh among themselves. — Literally, for themselves. But the Septuagint and Vulgate read, “at us.”
