    I, Yahweh, am her keeper;
    I water it again and again.[a]
Lest one afflict harm on it,
    I guard it night and day;
    I have no wrath.[b]
Whatever gives me thorns and briers,
    I will step forth against in battle.
    I will set it on fire altogether.
Or let it grasp at my protection;
    let it make peace with me;
    peace let it make with me.”
