²⁷ For ^(A)He draws up the drops of water;
They distill rain from its ^[a]celestial stream,
²⁸ Which clouds pour down;
They drip upon mankind abundantly.

⁸ It is He who ^(A)covers the heavens with clouds,
Who ^(B)provides rain for the earth,
Who ^(C)makes grass sprout on the mountains.

²² Are there any among the ^[a](A)idols of the nations who ^(B)give rain?
Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, Lord our God?
Therefore we ^(C)wait for You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
