To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass?
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He doth cause it to come.
Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up `on' mountains,
Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
