Psalm 65:9-13

Contemporary English Version

⁹ You take care of the earth
and send rain to help the soil
    grow all kinds of crops.
Your rivers never run dry,
and you prepare the earth
    to produce abundant grain.
¹⁰ You water all its fields
    and level the lumpy ground.
You send showers of rain
to soften the soil
    and help the plants sprout.
¹¹ Wherever your footsteps
touch the earth,
    a rich harvest is gathered.
¹² Desert pastures blossom,
    and mountains celebrate.
¹³ Meadows are filled
    with sheep and goats;
valleys overflow with grain
    and echo with joyful songs.
