You who
know, O
LORD,
Remember me,
take notice of me, And
take vengeance for me on my
persecutors. Do not, in view of Your
patience,
take me away;
Know that for Your
sake I
endure reproach.

Your
words were
found and I
ate them, And Your
words became for me a
joy and the
delight of my
heart; For I have been
called by Your
name, O
LORD God of
hosts.

I did not
sit in the
circle of
merrymakers,
Nor did I
exult.
Because * of Your
hand upon me I
sat alone, For You
filled me with
indignation.

Why has my
pain been perpetual And my
wound incurable,
refusing to be
healed? Will You
indeed be to me
like a
deceptive stream With
water that is
unreliable *?

Therefore,
thus says the
LORD,
"If you
return, then I will
restore you-
Before Me you will
stand; And
if you
extract the
precious from the
worthless, You will
become My
spokesman. They for their
part may
turn to you, But as for you, you must not
turn to them.

"Then I will
make you to

fortified wall of
bronze; And though they
fight against you, They will not
prevail over you; For I am with you to
save you And
deliver you,"
declares the
LORD.
