¹⁶ `An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,' Hath Jehovah called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches.

⁵ And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

¹² The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

¹¹ Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
