like gardens beside a stream,
like aloes the Lord has planted,
like cedars beside the water.

You have said:

With my many chariots

to the far recesses of Lebanon.
I cut down its tallest cedars,
its choice cypress trees.
I came to its farthest outpost,
its densest forest.

The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
