⁸ He covers the heavens with clouds,
    provides rain for the earth,
    and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.

¹⁰ He gives rain for the earth
    and water for the fields.

¹³ You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home,
    and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.
¹⁴ You cause grass to grow for the livestock
    and plants for people to use.
You allow them to produce food from the earth—

⁸ He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
    and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
⁹ He covers the face of the moon,^[a]
    shrouding it with his clouds.

⁷ You twist justice, making it a bitter pill for the oppressed.
    You treat the righteous like dirt.

⁸ It is the Lord who created the stars,
    the Pleiades and Orion.
He turns darkness into morning
    and day into night.
He draws up water from the oceans
    and pours it down as rain on the land.
    The Lord is his name!

²³ Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem!
    Rejoice in the Lord your God!
For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness.
    Once more the autumn rains will come,
    as well as the rains of spring.
