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.
God brings him out of Egypt
    and is for him like the (F)horns of the wild ox;
he shall (G)eat up the nations, his adversaries,
    and shall (H)break their bones in pieces
    and (I)pierce them through with his arrows.
