Psalms 83:11
9 Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
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.
