In God's Care
I agree to what Bro. Samuel statement that it refers to those in "In God's Care". Specifically this refers to the following:
1. God's People. v.3
Psalms 83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
Psalm 83 was something about a prayer for God's enemies to be "confounded and troubled" (v.17) and that God would not hold His silence (v1). The confederacy aligned against Israel includes Edom, Moab, Hagarenes, Gebal, Ammon, et.al (see vv.6-8) and their ultimate goal was to exterminate God's people and to cut them off from being a nation.
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.
2. God's Possession v. 12.
Psalms 83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
The armies of the enemy would like also to take in possession the temple of God and may wanted them to be polluted. The temple, including the ark of covenant which was one of the sacred object for the Israelites would be the greatest in possession of the enemies in case the plan would succeed, however God wouldn't allowed this to happened . The Psalm concluded it that men may know that God is Jehovah, the Most High.
Psalms 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Jude 25
