4  There is ⁱa river whose streams make glad ^jthe city of God,

the holy ^khabitation of the Most High.

18  ^oI will open rivers on the bare heights,

and fountains in the midst of the valleys.

^pI will make the wilderness a pool of water,

and the dry land springs of water.

19  ^mBehold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

ⁿI will make a way in the wilderness

^oand rivers in the desert.

20  The wild beasts will honor me,

^pthe jackals and the ostriches,

^qfor I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

to give drink to my chosen people,
