Charles Ellicott Commentary
"For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:" — Psalms 83:5 (ASV)
They are confederate. —Literally, they have cut a covenant, from the custom described in Genesis 15:17. (Compare to the Greek δρκια τέμνειν.)
Against you. —God and “His hidden ones” are one, a truth preparing the way for that grander truth of the identification of the Son of man with all needing help or pity in Matthew 25:40.
