For They Conspire - Psalm 83:1-8

Psalms 83:1-8 ESV 
Psalm 83
O God, Do Not Keep Silence
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
 O God, do not keep silence;
 do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
 For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads.
 They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your treasured ones.
 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
 For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
 Moab and the Hagrites,
 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
 Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
 Asshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of the children of Lot.
Selah

The nations make a covenant against the covenant people of God. 

A similar list of those nations appear in Ezekiel that will face the wrath of God. 

This is as current as today's headlines.
