9 You care for the earth,

Making it abundantly fruitful* and very rich.+

The stream from God is full of water;

You provide grain for them,+

For that is how you prepared the earth.

10 You drench its furrows and level off its plowed soil;*

You soften it with showers of rain; you bless its growth.+

22 Can any of the worthless idols of the nations give rain,

Or can even the heavens send showers of rain on their own?

And we hope in you,

For you alone have done all these things.
