The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew on the grass.

They waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.

I laughed at them when they did not believe it, and did not allow the light of my countenance to fall.

There are many who say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him rejoice with gladness in Your presence.

You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.

They waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.

For His anger is but for a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

Ask rain from Jehovah in the time of the latter rain. Jehovah shall make lightnings. And He gives them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field.
