Psalms 83:8

LotAsshur

6 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.

Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah

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.

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.
