Psalms 104:13

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.

seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;

For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.

Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

“There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.

He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.

He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.

For, behold, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.

They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.

Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.

The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.

To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both.

The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?

They don’t say in their heart, ‘Let’s now fear Yahweh our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.’

therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;

When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bear fruit for the three years.

but the land that you go over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of the sky,

Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.

He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”

After many days, Yahweh’s word came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.”

Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail,

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.

Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.

I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

He makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the rooms of the south.

Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,

He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time, Yahweh who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.

that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
