⁸ But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.

¹⁶ Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and the branches of it are broken.

⁵ But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

¹² The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³ They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

¹⁴ They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

³ He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

³ Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of your house; Your children like olive plants, Around your table.

⁶ His branches will spread, And his beauty will be like the olive tree, And his fragrance like Lebanon.

⁷ Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, And blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

⁸ Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; From me your fruit is found."

²⁴ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

¹⁸ Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his loving kindness;

¹¹ Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, In those who hope in his loving kindness.
