¹⁰ Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places.

¹⁷ though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself, doing good -- from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;'

²² Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou -- Thou hast done all these!

²⁴ And they have not said in their heart, `Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.'

⁸ Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up `on' mountains,

¹⁰ Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

¹¹ Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

²⁷ To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass?

²⁸ Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

²⁸ Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.

²⁶ In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the brightness of the voices,
