God Crowns The Year With Goodness And Abundance
As the season of early rains commences in the land of Israel, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible provision and generosity. It is He who visits the earth and saturates its furrows with water, abundantly enriching it. The divine rivers are full of water, preparing the grain fields as He establishes them. God softens the earth with showers and blesses its growth, causing the valleys to be covered with grain, inspiring joyful shouts and songs.
You visit the earth and water it;
You greatly enrich it;
The river of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.
You water its furrows abundantly,
You level its ridges;
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.
You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your pathways drip with fatness.
The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the hills are girded with gladness.
The meadows are clothed with flocks,
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, yes, they sing.
