Asking the Lord to give me insight about what to write as I sit at the computer, He immediately gave me direction to the 129th Psalm. It is a song of “ascents”.

The enemies that are referred to are multiple and their efforts against Israel are quite descriptive. They hate God and exalt themselves.
