9You take care of the land and water it.

You make it very rich.

You fill your streams with water.

You provide the people with grain.

That’s how you prepare the land.

10You water its rows.

You smooth out its bumps.

You soften it with showers.

And you bless its crops.

11You bring the year to a close with huge crops.

You provide more than enough food.

12The grass grows thick even in the desert.

The hills are dressed with gladness.

13The meadows are covered with flocks and herds.

The valleys are dressed with grain.

They sing and shout with joy.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof:

Thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;

And thy paths drop fatness.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:

And the little hills rejoice on every side.

The pastures are clothed with flocks;

The valleys also are covered over with corn;

They shout for joy, they also sing.
