| 6 | As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. | They spread out like palm groves, like gardens beside a stream, like aloes the LORD has planted, like cedars beside the waters. | As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river-side, As lign-aloes which Jehovah hath planted, As cedar-trees beside the waters. |
