⁶ He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

⁶ Many there are that say, Who will show us `any' good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

⁶ For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

⁵ For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy `cometh' in the morning.

¹² The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.

³ And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.

²⁸ Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.
