Sing out your thanks to the LORD;
sing praises to our God with a harp.
He covers the heavens with clouds,
provides rain for the earth,
and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.
He gives food to the wild animals
and feeds the young ravens when they cry.
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse
or in human might.
No, the LORD's delight is in those who fear him,
those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.
Deuteronomy 11:13-14
"If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today, and if you love the LORD your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, then he will send the rains in their proper seasons--the early and late rains--so you can bring in your harvests of grain, new wine and olive oil."
(see all Deuteronomy 11)
Job 5:10
"He gives rain for the earth
and water for the fields." (see all Job 5)
Job 26:8
"He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
and the clouds don't burst with the weight." (see all Job 26)
Job 38:25-27
"Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
Who makes the rain fall on barren land,
in a desert where no one lives?
Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground
and make the tender grass spring up?" (see all Job 38)
Psalm 104:13-15
You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home,
and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.
You cause the grass to grow for the livestock
and plants for the people to use.
You allow them to produce food from the earth--
wine to make them glad,
olive oil to soothe their skin,
and bread to give them strength. (see all Psalm 104)
