And the storm will scatter them;
But you will (B)rejoice in Yahweh;

And their tongue is parched with thirst;
I, Yahweh, (D)will answer them Myself,
As the God of Israel I (E)will not forsake them.

And springs in the midst of the valleys;
I will make (G)the wilderness a pool of water
And the dry land fountains of water.
