Context

Psalm 83

83:1 A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God! 83:2 For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile. 83:3 They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish. 83:4 They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.” 83:5 Yes, they devise a unified strategy; they form an alliance against you. 83:6 It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 83:7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.
