The assurance of inscribed memory—'See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me'—deepens the promise of remembrance through permanent inscription. The image of Israel inscribed on God's hands suggests that Israel is constantly present to God's awareness. The reference to walls 'continually before me' suggests God's perpetual focus on Jerusalem's restoration. This verse combines intimate (inscribed on hands) and architectural (Jerusalem's walls) imagery.
