How lovely are your tents, O Jacob,
    your encampments, O Israel!
Like palm groves[a] that stretch afar,
    like gardens beside a river,
(A)like aloes (B)that the Lord has planted,
    like cedar trees beside the waters.
Water shall flow from his buckets,
    and his seed shall be (C)in many waters;
his king shall be higher than (D)Agag,
    and (E)his kingdom shall be exalted.

As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
