8  ^hHe 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.”

10  Your mother was ⁱlike a vine in a vineyard¹

planted by the water,

^jfruitful and full of branches

^kby reason of abundant water.

6  Like palm groves¹ that stretch afar,

like gardens beside a river,

^xlike aloes ^ythat the Lord has planted,

like cedar trees beside the waters.

19  my ^xroots spread out to ^ythe waters,

with the dew all night on my ^zbranches,
