Chapter (62) 63: Writings [1] A song of ascents. "Many [peoples] have afflicted me from my youth,"(Psalms 129:1) As it is written in scriptures: "The myrrh bush of my beloved," to me (Song of Songs 1:13). The Assembly of Israel says: Although the inclination and the evil urge troubled me, as it is said, "And they embittered their lives" (Exodus 1:14), the Almighty's son will stay between the two sons of Amram, between Moses and Aaron, as it is said, "Your two breasts" (Song of Songs 7:4).
And so it is with the sea, "They were rebelled upon the sea, the Sea of Reeds" (Psalms 106:7). "But he dwells among the desolate cliffs. Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy." (Exodus 15:6).In the desert, both the adversary and the yetzer hara (evil inclination) troubled me, as it is written "And the Lord afflicted the people" (Exodus 32:35), but nevertheless, the Almighty's son will stay between the two, between the first count and the last.
Additionally, Jacob, the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, says "Great troubles have encompassed me since my youth, but even so, they were not able to overcome me, whether from the hand of God or the evil inclination. As it is said, 'See, I have not caused you to suffer before me' (Genesis 48:11)." Therefore, Jacob began to say, "Great troubles have encompassed me since my youth, but even so, they were not able to overcome me."
