⁸ But I am like an olive tree^(A)
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust^(B) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.

¹⁶ The trees of the Lord^(A) are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon^(B) that he planted.

²² No longer will they build houses and others live in them,^(A)
    or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,^(B)
    so will be the days^(C) of my people;
my chosen^(D) ones will long enjoy
    the work of their hands.

⁵ I will be like the dew^(A) to Israel;
    he will blossom like a lily.^(B)
Like a cedar of Lebanon^(C)
    he will send down his roots;^(D)

⁶     his young shoots will grow.
His splendor will be like an olive tree,^(A)
    his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.^(B)
