You visit the earth and (A)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (B)enrich it;
The [a](C)stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their (D)grain, for so You prepare [b]the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You [c]settle its ridges,
You soften it (E)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year [d]with Your (F)goodness,
And Your [e]paths (G)drip with fatness.
12 (H)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (I)hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (J)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (K)covered with grain;
They (L)shout for joy, yes, they sing.

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

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
