Psalms 83:3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
Craft goes with power in plotting against God’s people. The seed of the serpent are like him from whom they came, and of him it is said, "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made;" and the seed of the serpent are very full of crafty counsel and subtlety. This the psalmist mentions in his prayer, and then he looks to God to countermine their mines, to baffle their craft, and by his wisdom to save his people.
