The Beginning – Day 13

₉You show your care for the land by sending rain;

you make it rich and fertile.

You fill the streams with water;

you provide the earth with crops.

This is how you do it:

₁₀you send abundant rain on the ploughed fields

and soak them with water;

you soften the soil with showers

and cause the young plants to grow.

₁₁What a rich harvest your goodness provides!

Wherever you go there is plenty.

₁₂The pastures are filled with flocks;

the hillsides are full of joy.

₁₃The fields are covered with sheep;

the valleys are full of wheat.

Everything shouts and sings for joy.
