3They concoct crafty schemes against Your people, And conspire together against Your hidden and precious ones. 4They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; Let the name of Israel be remembered no more.” For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant— 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Of Moab and the Hagrites, 7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
