How beautiful are your tents, Jacob,
your dwellings, Israel.
They stretch out like river valleys,[a]
like gardens beside a stream,
like aloes the Lord has planted,
like cedars beside the water.
Water will flow from his buckets,
and his seed will be by abundant water.
His king will be greater than Agag,(A)
and his kingdom will be exalted.
