¹⁵ In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a ^(A)cloud of the latter rain.

²³ They waited for me as for the rain,
And they opened their mouth wide as for ^(A)the spring rain.
²⁴ If I mocked at them, they did not believe it,
And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.

^6 (A)He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.

²⁸ You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’

^3 (A)Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established ^(B)as the morning;
^(C)He will come to us ^(D)like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

⁵ For ^(A)His anger is but for a moment,
^(B)His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But ^[a]joy comes in the morning.

⁶ For You have made him most blessed forever;
^(A)You have made him ^[a]exceedingly glad with Your presence.
