the declaration of the one who hears the words of God,
who sees the vision of the Almighty,
who is falling down, but his eyes are wide open:
    How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob,
        and your dwelling places, O Israel!
    Like rows of palm trees[a] they stretch out,
        like gardens by the riverside,
        like aloes which the Lord has planted,
        like cedar trees beside the waters.
