קוּמָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִיבָ֣ה רִיבֶ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר חֶרְפָּתְךָ֥ מִנִּי־נָ֝בָ֗ל כָּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃
Lève-toi, ô Dieu, défends ta cause, rappelle-toi les insultes qui, sans cesse, te viennent de gens indignes.
Chidushei Agadot
You shall not seek their peace or their welfare, etc.: He was not so evil as to say, "Go and battle against them to distress them," but rather, "You shall not seek their peace. etc." And it is as it is written about the nations that the Holy One blessed be He, distanced us from clinging to them - meaning Ammon and Moav. As it is stated about them (Deuteronomy 2:9), "do not provoke them, etc." - to cause them evil. But it is also stated about them (Deuteronomy 23:7), "You shall not seek their peace, etc." And according to what is written in the midrashim, Bilaam is the same as Lavan. And it was already said to him (Genesis 31:24), "do not speak to Yaakov either good or evil." For the goodnesses of the wicked are bad for the righteous. And perhaps this too was hinted in those verses: "Remember that You are blasphemed by scoundrels (naval) all day long" (Psalms 74:22). Naval is the same letters as Lavan, who is Bilaam. And it stated, remember Your blasphemy from him all the days. For he said, "You shall not seek, etc." - as it is written about Moav. And it ends with the two [of them] (Psalms 74:23), "Do not forget the voice of Your foes" - which is Titus; but also do not forget "the din of Your adversaries that ascends (oleh) all the time" - which is Bilaam, since he brought several burnt-offerings (olot), in order to curse Israel. And this is simple to understand.
