Psalms 65:12
10 You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.
11 You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.
The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
