You nourish it with rain;
the streams and rivers overflow,
the land bears seed again.
2 The soil is Yours, O God–
the shoots are moist with dew;
and ripened by the burning sun
the corn grows straight and true.
3 The hills are Yours, O God–
their grass is lush and green,
providing pastures for the flocks
which everywhere are seen.
4 The whole rich land is Yours
for fodder or for plough:
and so, for rain, sun, soil and seed,
O God, we thank You now. Topics: Creation Seasons of the Year Scripture: Psalm 65 Used With Tune: HAMPTON
