Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai from the wadis of Gaash,

Hurai ¹  from the valleys of Gaash, Abiel ²  the Arbathite,

From there they traveled to Gudgodah, ¹  and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, ²  a place of flowing streams.

For the Lord your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks, ¹  springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,

My brothers ¹  have been as treacherous ²  as a seasonal stream, ³  and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams ⁴  that flow away. ⁵ 

and throw ¹  your gold ²  in the dust – your gold ³  of Ophir among the rocks in the ravines –

For the music director; a well-written song ²  by the Korahites. As a deer ³  longs ⁴  for streams of water, so I long ⁵  for you, O God!

Even the wild animals ¹  cry out to you; ²  for the river beds ³  have dried up; fire has destroyed ⁴  the grassy pastures. ⁵

You broke open the spring and the stream; ¹  you dried up perpetually flowing rivers. ² 

From the stream along the road he drinks; then he lifts up his head. ¹ 

Should your springs be dispersed ¹  outside, your streams of water in the wide plazas?

They will come back shedding tears of contrition. I will bring them back praying prayers of repentance. ¹  I will lead them besides streams of water, along smooth paths where they will never stumble. ²  I will do this because I am Israel’s father; Ephraim ³  is my firstborn son.’”
