20“Surely the mountains bring him food,
         And all the beasts of the field play there.

21“Under the lotus plants he lies down,
         In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.

22“The lotus plants cover him with shade;
         The willows of the brook surround him.

23“If a river rages, he is not alarmed;
         He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.

24“Can anyone capture him when he is on watch,
         With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
