Senses
1. sense 1 — The Psalm calls on God to 'scatter the peoples who delight in war' (68:30), asking for the dispersal of warlike nations.

The verb emphasizes distribution through scattering: whether dispersing peoples or spreading out spoils among supporters. Multilingual glosses render 'scatter/dispersa/disperser' (scatter/disperse), with French also offering 'diviser' (divide).
