(A)I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
Fury is not in Me.
Who would set (B)briers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
Or let him take hold (C)of My strength,
That he may (D)make peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”

    I, the Lord, watch over it;
    I water(A) it continually.
I guard(B) it day and night
    so that no one may harm(C) it.
    I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
    I would march against them in battle;
    I would set them all on fire.(D)
Or else let them come to me for refuge;(E)
    let them make peace(F) with me,
    yes, let them make peace with me.”
