13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

    my soul rejoices(A) in my God.

    and as a bride(D) adorns herself with her jewels.

    and a garden(E) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(F)
    and praise spring up before all nations.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

“As the heavens are higher than the earth,(A)
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.(B)
10 As the rain(C) and the snow
    come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(D)
    so that it yields seed(E) for the sower and bread for the eater,(F)
11 so is my word(G) that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,(H)
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose(I) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(J)
    and be led forth in peace;(K)
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song(L) before you,
and all the trees(M) of the field
    will clap their hands.(N)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers(O) the myrtle(P) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(Q)
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”
