10
In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him, and so I was established in Zion.
11
In the beloved city likewise he gave me a resting place, and in Jerusalem was my dominion.
12
So I took root in an honored people, in the portion of the Lord, who is their inheritance.
13
"I grew tall like a cedar in Lebanon, and like a cypress on the heights of Hermon.
14
I grew tall like a palm tree in En-ge'di, and like rose plants in Jericho; like a beautiful olive tree in the field, and like a plane tree I grew tall.
