⁸ But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

¹⁶ You had been named by the Lord, A branching olive-tree, fair with beautiful fruit: with the noise of a great rushing he has put it on fire and its branches are broken.

⁵ But I have had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation.

¹² The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

¹³ Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

¹⁴ They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

³ He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

³ Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.

⁶ I will be as the dew to Israel; he will put out flowers like a lily, and send out his roots like Lebanon.

⁷ His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.

⁸ They will come back and have rest in his shade; their life will be made new like the grain, and they will put out flowers like the vine; his name will be like the wine of Lebanon.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

¹⁸ See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

¹¹ The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
