1. A Song of Ascents. “How many times they have been hostile to me, even from my youth” —let Israel now say—
2. “How greatly they have been hostile to me, even from my youth. Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3. Plowmen plowed on my back— they made their furrows long!”
4. Adonai is righteous— He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
5. May all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.
