You care for the land and water it;(A)
    you enrich it abundantly.(B)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,(C)
    for so you have ordained it.[a]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers(D) and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,(E)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.(F)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;(G)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.(H)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks(I)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;(J)
    they shout for joy and sing.(K)

  1. Psalm 65:9 Or for that is how you prepare the land

God came from Teman,(A)
    the Holy One(B) from Mount Paran.[a](C)
His glory covered the heavens(D)
    and his praise filled the earth.(E)
His splendor was like the sunrise;(F)
    rays flashed from his hand,
    where his power(G) was hidden.
Plague(H) went before him;
    pestilence followed his steps.
He stood, and shook the earth;
    he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(I)
    and the age-old hills(J) collapsed(K)
    but he marches on forever.(L)
