Remember me [thoughtfully], take notice of me,

Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that for Your sake I endure [continual] rebuke and dishonor.
16 
Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart;
For I have been called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
17

Nor did I rejoice;
I sat alone because Your [powerful] hand was upon me,
For You had filled me with indignation [at their sin].
