(A)Into a land which you do not know;
For a (B)fire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.”

Remember me and [b]visit me,
And (D)take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In Your enduring patience, do not take me away.
Know that (E)for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found, and I (F)ate them,
And (G)Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
