Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 83:4

"They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." — Psalms 83:4 (ASV)

For this attack against not only the independence, but even the continued existence of Israel as a nation, compare Esther 3:6; Esther 3:9; Jeremiah 11:19; Jeremiah 31:36; Jeremiah 48:2; Isaiah 7:8.
