Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 83 of Psalms. Psalm 83 is a national plea in the face of a coalition of enemy peoples. The psalmist asks God not to remain silent while adversaries conspire against his people and against the divine name. The memory of ancient defeats becomes a request for new intervention. The ultimate goal is not merely military victory, but for the enemies to recognize that the Lord is the Most High over all the earth.

also verfolge sie mit deinem Wetter und erschrecke sie mit deinem Ungewitter.
Llena sus rostros de vergüenza; Y busquen tu nombre, oh Jehová.
Llena sus rostros de deshonra, para que busquen tu nombre, Jehová.
Couvre leur face d'ignominie, Afin qu'ils cherchent ton nom, ô Eternel!
Empi le lor facce di vituperio; E fa’ che cerchino il tuo Nome, o Signore.
Encham-se de vergonha as suas faces, para que busquem o teu nome, SENHOR.
耶和華啊,求你使他們滿面羞恥, 好叫他們尋求你的名!
