The (A)waters made it grow, the [a]deep made it high.
With its rivers it continually [b]extended all around its planting place,
And sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
Therefore (B)its height was loftier than all the trees of the field
And its boughs became many and its branches long
Because of (C)many waters [c]as it spread them out.
All the (D)birds of the sky nested in its twigs,
And under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth,
And all great nations lived under its shade.
