[And his heart from the Lord is turned]

Like some desert-scrub shall he be,

Nor see any coming of good,

But dwell in the aridest desert,

A salt, uninhabited land.

Blesséd the wight that trusts in the Lord,

And the Lord is his trust!

He like a tree shall be planted by waters,

That stretches its roots to the stream,

Unafraid[73] at the coming of heat,
