10 Her ridges thou dost water well, Her [ploughed] furrows settlest; With showers thou dost make it soft, Her [springing] fruit by thee is blest.
10 Her ridges thou dost water well, Her [plowed] surrows settlest; With showers thou dost make it soft, Her [springing] fruit by thee is blest.
11 Thus thou the year from time to time Dost with thy [bounteous] goodness crown, And thy high paths do from above On earth drop [plenteous] fatness down.
12 They drop upon the pasture-grounds That lye [even] in [the] desert wide, The little hills thereby refreshed, Rejoice [with fruit] on every side.
