I will be like the (A)dew to Israel;
He shall [a]grow like the lily,
And [b]lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
His branches shall [c]spread;
(B)His beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And (C)his fragrance like Lebanon.
(D)Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And [d]grow like a vine.
Their [e]scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
