I am determined to obey ¹  your statutes at all times, to the very end.

The enemies who chase me are numerous. ¹  Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.

Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. ¹  Yet I do not turn aside from your law.

However, ¹  because ²  I called but you refused to listen, ³  because ⁴  I stretched out my hand ⁵  but no one paid attention,

So see here, I have stretched out my hand against you and cut off your rations. I have delivered you into the power of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed by your obscene conduct.

take note, I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will hand you over as plunder ¹  to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
