Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
