Praise the Lord!

“He wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.

It will not be pruned or hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.

Prepareth

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it;
The

stream of God is full of water;

You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

He waters the mountains from His upper chambers;

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

“He gives rain on the earth
And sends water on the fields,

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.

So rejoice, O sons of Zion,
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.

For those who turn justice into wormwood
And cast righteousness down to the earth.”

so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.”

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
