In the lightof a king'sfaceis life,And his favoris like a cloudwith the springrain.
For You makehim mostblessedforever;You makehim joyfulwith gladnessin Your presence.
For His angeris but for a moment,His favoris for a lifetime;Weepingmay lastfor the night,But a shoutof joy[comes] in the morning.
Manyare saying,"Whowill showus [any] good?"Liftup the lightof Your countenanceupon us, O LORD!
May he comedownlike rainupon the mowngrass, Like showersthat waterthe earth.
The furyof a kingis [like] messengersof death,But a wisemanwill appeaseit.
The king'swrathis like the roaringof a lion,But his favoris like dewon the grass.
Manyseekthe ruler'sfavor,But justicefor man[comes] from the LORD.
"So let us know,let us presson to knowthe LORD.His goingforthis as certainas the dawn;And He will cometo us like the rain,Like the springrainwateringthe earth."
Askrainfrom the LORDat the timeof the springrain--The LORDwho makesthe stormclouds;And He will givethem showersof rain,vegetationin the fieldto [each] man.
YOU HAVE MADE KNOWNTO ME THE WAYSOF LIFE;YOU WILL MAKE ME FULLOF GLADNESSWITH YOUR PRESENCE.'
