The psalmist quotes Israel’s enemies as saying: “Come and let us efface them from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more. ” What hatred those nations had for God’s chosen people!
فَقَدِ ٱشْتَهَوْا أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَبَجَّحُوا قَائِلِينَ :‏ « لِنَمْتَلِكْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَسَاكِنَ ٱللهِ » .‏
