And as the showers on the herb.

“Blessed of the Lord be his land,
With the choice things of heaven, with the dew,
And from the deep lying beneath,

For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord

commanded the blessing—life forever.
