Who coversthe heavenswith clouds,Who providesrainfor the earth,Who makes grassto growon the mountains.
"It shall comeabout, when I bringa cloudoverthe earth,that the bowwill be seenin the cloud,
"He givesrainon the earthAnd sendswateron the fields,
Praisethe LORD!Praisethe nameof the LORD;Praise[Him], O servantsof the LORD,
[When] the grassdisappears,the newgrowthis seen,And the herbsof the mountainsare gatheredin,
"I will layit waste;It will not be prunedor hoed,But briarsand thornswill comeup. I will also chargethe cloudsto rainnorainon it."
Are thereanyamong the idolsof the nationswho giverain?Orcan the heavensgrantshowers?Is it not You, O LORDour God?Therefore we hopein You, For You are the one who has doneallthesethings.
So rejoice,O sonsof Zion,And be gladin the LORDyour God;For He has givenyou the earlyrainfor [your] vindication.And He has poureddownfor you the rain,The earlyand latterrainas before.
sothat you may be sonsof your Fatherwhois in heaven;for He causesHis sunto riseon [the] eviland [the] good,and sends rainon [the] righteousand [the] unrighteous.
and yetHe did not leaveHimselfwithout witness,in that He did goodand gaveyou rainsfrom heavenand fruitfulseasons,satisfyingyour heartswith foodand gladness."
