You take care of the land.
You send rain to make the earth good for plants.
    Your rivers are full of water.
You cause the earth to give good crops
    so that the people have grain to eat.
10 When people plough their fields,
    you send rain to make the earth wet.
You make the ground soft with the rain,
    so that crops grow there.
11 Every year at harvest time,
    you bless people with lots of good things.
Everywhere that you go,
    there is plenty of food.[a]
