They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
The people who find safety in his protection will come back to life. They'll flourish like fresh grain and grow strong like grapevines, their whole vibe will be as rich and intoxicating as the finest wine from Lebanon.
Under God's protection, you don't just survive, you thrive and become something beautiful.
