¹⁹ my ^(A)roots spread out to ^(B)the waters,
    with the dew all night on my ^(C)branches,

^8 (A)He is like a tree planted by water,
    that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
    for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
    for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

^5 (A)I will be like the dew to Israel;
    ^(B)he shall blossom like the lily;
    he shall take root like the trees ^(C)of Lebanon;
⁶ his shoots shall spread out;
    his beauty shall be ^(D)like the olive,
    and his fragrance like Lebanon.
⁷ They shall return and ^(E)dwell beneath my^[a] shadow;
    they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
    their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

¹⁶ His ^(A)roots dry up beneath,
    and his branches ^(B)wither above.
