 The psalmist anticipates the result of God’s intervention in judgment. The end will be that men will know that Jehovah―the God of Israel―is the Most High over all the earth. (Psalms 83 by H. Smith)
 As a result of the destruction of these nations under the Assyrian the Lord’s name becomes known in the earth (vs. 18). “JEHOVAH,” His covenant-relationship name to Israel is now introduced. The bringing of the name of JEHOVAH marks a change in the book from the so called Elohistic psalms to the Jehovahistic psalms. From Psalm 42 to this psalm the cry of the remnant has been addressed to God (Elohim), but from Psalm 84 onward they are addressed to the LORD (Jehovah), This indicates the remnant has been delivered and are now realizing their covenant blessings in Jehovah. (Book 3. by B. Anstey)
