    like gardens beside a river,^(A)
like aloes^(B) planted by the Lord,

    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust^(B) in God’s unfailing love

    that sends out its roots by the stream.^(A)
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought^(B)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”^(C)

⁵ I will be like the dew^(A) to Israel;
