I, Adonai, watch over it,
I water it every moment.
I guard it day and night,
so that no one may harm it.
It is not that I have wrath.
Who would give me thorns and thistles?
Into battle I would march against them!
I would burn them up altogether!
Rather let them rely on My strength.
Let them make peace with Me—
    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.”
