For thus is its preparation.	¹⁰ Alors chacun découvre la crainte et dit hautement que c’est l’œuvre de Dieu: on comprend son action.
¹¹ Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.	¹¹ Le juste se réjouira dans le Seigneur et se confiera en lui; ceux qui ont le cœur droit en tireront fierté.
¹² You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
¹³ The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
¹⁴ The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
