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.
