⁹ The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.

⁷ The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.

⁵ For the Lord is good, and his mercy is never-ending; his faith is unchanging through all generations.

²⁵ And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;

¹⁷ But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.

⁴⁵ So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

¹¹ And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?

²⁷ All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.

⁹ You have given your blessing to the earth, watering it and making it fertile; the river of God is full of water: and having made it ready, you give men grain.

¹⁰ You make the ploughed lands full of water; you make smooth the slopes: you make the earth soft with showers, sending your blessing on its growth.

¹¹ The year is crowned with the good you give; life-giving rain is dropping from your footsteps,

¹² Falling on the grass of the waste land: and the little hills are glad on every side.

¹³ The grass-land is thick with flocks; the valleys are full of grain; they give glad cries and songs of joy.

⁶ Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

⁷ How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
