Psalms 83:15

13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

17 May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
