“Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.”
This opening invocation calling for God to arise and enemies to be scattered establishes the psalm as a call for divine action against God's foes. The imagery of God arising suggests the mobilization of divine power for action in history. The scattering of enemies indicates that God's action will dissolve the unity and power of opposition. This verse establishes the psalm as a hymn of divine triumph and the vindication of God's rule.
