Make me know Your ways, O Lord;

Teach me Your paths.

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,
And whom You teach out of Your law;

He.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes,

And I shall observe it to the end.

Many nations will come and say,

“Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”

Even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be

taught of God

.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

Good way

“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.

He disperses the cloud of His lightning.

You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.

“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who gives rain in its season,
Both the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The appointed weeks of the harvest.”

Are there any among the

idols of the nations who give rain?

Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore we

hope in You,

For You are the one who has done all these things.

I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing.

“I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,

And be glad in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The early and

latter rain as before.

The Lord who makes the storm clouds;
And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.
