Israel formed a death squad to retaliate against those who assassinated members of its wrestling team. The death squad members became isolated from family and suffered psychological disintegration over time. Conspiracies involving Israel included American agents protecting a Palestinian target to allow his escape. The people of the land conspired against Ezra and Nehemiah. The sons of Jacob conspired against Joseph. Israelites occupy positions of power within organizations driving globalism. These people no longer plan on a basis of national sovereignty.

Enemies of God take crafty counsel against His people and consult against His hidden ones. They agree with one consent to cut Israel off from being a nation so that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. They are confederate against God while His hidden ones remain in the place of safety. Israel the northern ten tribes and Syria enter into an alliance and conspire together to defeat Judah. This throws Judah into great fear because the people are fearful and faithless toward God's ability to protect them. God then prophesies that Israel Syria and Judah will be overcome by Assyria. The instruction given is not to fear the confederacy nor to be afraid of it. The people must sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself and let Him be their fear and their dread. He shall be for a sanctuary but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel. Many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken and be snared and be taken. The focus must remain on the law and the testimony.

In Psalm 83, Asaph describes a coalition of nations conspiring together against Israel, God's people, plotting to "cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." This conspiracy represents one of the clearest examples of an imprecatory psalm's setting: a moment when God's covenant people face coordinated, existential threats from enemies who seek not merely to harm them but to erase them entirely from history. Asaph opens by pleading with God not to remain silent or still while these enemies "make a tumult" and "lift up their head" against Him and His people. He lays out the situation plainly before God, naming the conspiring nations and their crafty counsel taken "against Your sheltered ones." This conspiracy is framed not simply as a political or military threat but as an assault on God Himself, since the psalmist notes these are God's enemies, those who hate Him. The imprecations that follow ask God to deal with these conspirators as He dealt with historical enemies of Israel—Midian, Sisera, Jabin, Oreb, Zeeb, Zebah, and Zalmunna—all of whom perished when they opposed God's people and sought to seize "the pastures of God for a possession." This last phrase reveals the true nature of the conspiracy: it is an attempt to steal what God has given, to claim His inheritance for themselves. What distinguishes Asaph's response is that he does not merely call for destruction. He asks God to "fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O Lord," and prays that they be "confounded and dismayed forever" so that "men may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth." The ultimate purpose behind the imprecation against this conspiracy is not vindictive annihilation but repentance and divine vindication—that the conspirators would recognize God's supremacy and abandon their hatred, thereby removing the very cause of their conspiracy against Israel. This psalm fits within a broader pattern found throughout imprecatory psalms: prayers arising from severe persecution, calling for God's justice against those who commit egregious, undeserved wickedness against His people. Such conspiracies against Israel are not treated as ordinary conflicts but as attacks against God's covenant purposes, since Israel belongs to Him. The psalmist's plea rests on the covenant relationship established in Deuteronomy 29 and 30, where God promises to place curses upon Israel's enemies and fight on Israel's behalf once His people return to Him in obedience. Asaph's prayer, therefore, functions as an appeal for God to uphold His covenant promise as Israel's protector and defender against those who conspire for its destruction, trusting that vengeance belongs to God alone rather than to human retaliation.
