Asaph isn't some seer, he knows that there are people plotting against Israel. When you plot against Israel, he says, you plot against the LORD himself. Which has proven itself never to be all that great of an idea. Their goals, wipe Israel off the map, and remove them from the memory of history. We've heard this recently, actually.
But Asaph is eager to see God's power of deliverance. He remembers. He was taught about Judges 4, when Deborah defeated Sisera. He recounts Judges 7, when Gideon crushed the Midianites who plotted against Israel.
Asaph knows God is forever, and those who seek to stand against him are temporary, like tumbleweed in the wind, or a forest consumed by fire.
Which side will you be on?
