They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation"

They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation
so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered." Psalm 83:4
Psalm 83 Holman Christian Standard Bible
Prayer against Enemies
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 God, do not keep silent.
Do not be deaf, God, do not be idle.
2 See how Your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate You have acted arrogantly.
3 They devise clever schemes against Your people;
they conspire against Your treasured ones.
4 They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation
so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered."
5 For they have conspired with one mind;
they form an alliance against You--
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them;
they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them as [You did] with Midian,
as [You did] with Sisera
and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10 They were destroyed at En-dor;
they became manure for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, "Let us seize God's pastures for ourselves."
13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like straw before the wind.
14 As fire burns a forest,
as a flame blazes through mountains,
15 so pursue them with Your tempest
and terrify them with Your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame
so that they will seek Your name, Lord.
17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
let them perish in disgrace.
18 May they know that You alone--
whose name is Yahweh--
are the Most High over all the earth.
Genesis 12:1-3
Now the LORD had said unto Abram...And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will BLESS them that bless thee, and CURSE him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Emphasis added.]
