¹⁵ Wretched and close to death from my youth up,
    I suffer your terrors; I am desperate.^[a](A)

¹ If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
    —let Israel now say—^(A)

¹⁵ From there I will give her her vineyards
    and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she shall respond as in the days of her youth,
    as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.^(A)
