| 65:6 |
who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, |
| 65:7 |
who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. |

| 65:10 |
You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. |
| 65:11 |
You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. |

The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. |
