Psalms 83:6
4 saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah
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.
