Verse 4 is found in chapter 83 of Psalms. Psalm 83 is a national plea in the face of a coalition of enemy peoples. The psalmist asks God not to remain silent while adversaries conspire against his people and against the divine name. The memory of ancient defeats becomes a request for new intervention. The ultimate goal is not merely military victory, but for the enemies to recognize that the Lord is the Most High over all the earth.

Sie machen listige Anschläge gegen dein Volk und ratschlagen wider deine Verborgenen.
Han dicho: Venid, y cortémoslos de ser pueblo, Y no haya más memoria del nombre de Israel.
Dicen: «Vengan, acabemos con ellos como nación, para que el nombre de Israel no vuelva a recordarse».
Venez, disent-ils, exterminons-les du milieu des nations, Et qu'on ne se souvienne plus du nom d'Israël!
Hanno detto: Venite, e distruggiamoli, Sì che non sieno più nazione, E che il nome d’Israele non sia più ricordato.
Disseram: Vinde, e desarraiguemo-los para que não sejam nação, nem haja mais memória do nome de Israel.
他們說:「來吧,我們將他們除滅, 使他們不再成國! 使 以色列 的名不再被人記念!」
