Israel said before the Lord, 'Master of the universe, our enemies have imposed a heavy burden upon us, but we know that they are destined to be destroyed, as it is said, 'For behold, Your enemies, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies shall perish' (Psalms 92:10). And all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered like dust before the wind, as it is said, 'All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered' (Psalms 92:10).
But You, O Lord, are exalted forever. Rabbi Berechiah said, 'The world is always under Your control' (from the Aramaic phrase "min ila'ita," meaning "from the highest heights"). And You raise up Your horns like a wild ox, as it is said, 'His firstborn ox, majesty is his, and his horns are the horns of the wild ox; with them he shall gore the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh' (Deuteronomy 33:17).
With them he shall gore the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. And upon him, kings will stand to slay him, as it is said, 'The kings of the earth take their stand' (Psalms 2:2). And Israel, who is in great distress, is like a fresh olive tree, as it is said, 'But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever' (Psalms 52:10). And they see their downfall, as it is said, 'My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies' (Psalms 92:12)."
