⁸ He covers the heavens with clouds;
    he prepares ^(A)rain for the earth;
    he makes ^(B)grass grow on the hills.

²⁴ They do not say in their hearts,
    ‘Let us fear the Lord our God,
^(A)who gives the rain in its season,
    the autumn rain and the spring rain,
and keeps for us
    ^(B)the weeks appointed for the harvest.’

²² Are there any among ^(A)the false gods of the nations ^(B)that can bring rain?
    Or can the heavens give showers?
Are you not he, O Lord our God?
    We set our hope on you,
    ^(C)for you do all these things.

^13 (A)From your lofty abode you ^(B)water the mountains;
    the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
