A psalm for harvest

Psalm 65

 8    You visit the earth and water it;  ♦

you make it very plenteous.

9    The river of God is full of water;  ♦

you prepare grain for your people,

    for so you provide for the earth.

10  You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges;  ♦

you soften the ground with showers and bless its increase.

11  You crown the year with your goodness,  ♦

and your paths overflow with plenty.

12  May the pastures of the wilderness flow with goodness  ♦

and the hills be girded with joy.

13  May the meadows be clothed with flocks of sheep  ♦

and the valleys stand so thick with corn

    that they shall laugh and sing.
