May he comedownlike rainupon the mowngrass, Like showersthat waterthe earth.
"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."
"Let my teachingdropas the rain,My speechdistillas the dew,As the dropletson the freshgrassAnd as the showerson the herb.
Is as the lightof the morning[when] the sunrises,A morningwithoutclouds,[When] the tendergrass[springs] out of the earth,Throughsunshineafterrain.'
You waterits furrowsabundantly,You settleits ridges,You softenit with showers,You blessits growth.
"I will layit waste;It will not be prunedor hoed,But briarsand thornswill comeup. I will also chargethe cloudsto rainnorainon it."
The king'swrathis like the roaringof a lion,But his favoris like dewon the grass.
In the lightof a king'sfaceis life,And his favoris like a cloudwith the springrain.
They will shepherdthe landof Assyriawith the sword,The landof Nimrodat its entrances;And He will deliver[us] from the AssyrianWhenhe attacksour landAnd whenhe tramplesour territory.
