Psalm 83:2-4
New English Translation
2 For look, your enemies are making a commotion;
those who hate you are hostile.[a]
3 They carefully plot[b] against your people,
and make plans to harm[c] the ones you cherish.[d]
4 They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation.[e]
Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”
