In the light of a king's face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.
May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!
They waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain. I smiled on them when they had no confidence, and the light of my face they did not cast down.
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
A king's wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.
