and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.^(A)
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God.^(B)

healthy and green,^(C)

⁸ He will be like a tree planted by water:^(A)
it sends its roots out toward a stream,
it doesn’t fear when heat comes,
and its foliage remains green.
It will not worry in a year of drought
or cease producing fruit.
