  1. 6His branches will spread,
    and his beauty will be like the olive tree,
    and his fragrance like Lebanon.
  2. 7Men will dwell in his shade.
    They will revive like the grain,

  4. 9Who is wise, that he may understand these things?
    Who is prudent, that he may know them?
    For the ways of Yahweh are right,
    and the righteous walk in them;
    But the rebellious stumble in them.
