¹² Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

²⁶ To cause `it' to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness -- no man in it.

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

⁶ Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

¹⁰ Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.

¹¹ They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.

¹² By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.

¹³ Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.

⁹ For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

¹⁰ For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,

¹¹ So is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that `for' which I sent it.

¹² For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you `with' singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.

¹³ Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during -- it is not cut off!

¹⁰ I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.

¹¹ For, as the earth bringeth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!

²² Do not fear, O cattle of the field! For sprung forth have pastures of a wilderness, For the tree hath borne its fruit, Fig-tree and vine have given their strength!
