¹¹ You crown the year with a bountiful harvest;
    even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

²¹     Don’t be afraid, O land.
Be glad now and rejoice,
    for the Lord has done great things.
²² Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field,
    for the wilderness pastures will soon be green.
The trees will again be filled with fruit;
    fig trees and grapevines will be loaded down once more.
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.
²⁴ The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain,
    and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

²⁵ The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost
    to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts,
the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.^[a]
    It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.
²⁶ Once again you will have all the food you want,
    and you will praise the Lord your God,
who does these miracles for you.
    Never again will my people be disgraced.

⁴ He redeems me from death
    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

¹² For you bless the godly, O Lord;
    you surround them with your shield of love.

⁸ You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
    letting them drink from your river of delights.

¹⁸ Simpletons are clothed with foolishness,^[a]
    but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

⁷ Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.^[a]
8 You gave them authority over all things.”^[b]
