The grass grows thick even in the desert. The hills are dressed with gladness.

滴在旷野的草场上。小山以欢乐束腰；

滴在旷野的草场上。小山以欢乐束腰，

滴在旷野的草场上。小山以欢乐束腰，

旷野的草地生机盎然，山岭间充满欢乐，

滴在旷野的草场上；群山以欢乐束腰，

滴在旷野的牧场上；冈陵也以快乐束腰；

滴在曠野的草場上。小山以歡樂束腰；

滴在曠野的草場上。小山以歡樂束腰，

滴在曠野的草場上。小山以歡樂束腰，

曠野的草地生機盎然，山嶺間充滿歡樂，

滴在曠野的草場上；群山以歡樂束腰，

濕透野地的草場；小山以快樂束腰。

滴在曠野的牧場上；岡陵也以快樂束腰；

滴瀝於野間草場、岡陵束以歡樂兮、

曠野有苑、咸沾膏澤、萬山之民、靡不喜樂兮、群羊遍野、五穀盈阡、居民歡呼、咸謳歌兮。

草野均霑膏澤、山岳無不歡呼、

春沐主之澤。秋食主之祿。芳蹤之所過。步步留肥沃。

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

The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy,

The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy.

The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are robed with joy.

The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.

They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.

The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are robed with joy.

They drop[ upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture, and the hills are clothed with joy.

The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.

They bring water to places where no one lives. They water deserts that do not have anyone in them.They satisfy the needs of dry and empty lands. They make grass start growing there.

The Lord makes springs pour water into the valleys. It flows between the mountains.The springs give water to all the wild animals. The wild donkeys satisfy their thirst.The birds in the sky build nests by the waters. They sing among the branches.The Lord waters the mountains from his palace high in the clouds. The earth is filled with the things he has made.

“ The heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.The rain and the snow come down from the sky. They do not return to it without watering the earth. They make plants come up and grow. The plants produce seeds for farmers. They also produce food for people to eat.The words I speak are like that. They will not return to me without producing results. They will accomplish what I want them to. They will do exactly what I sent them to do.“ My people, you will go out of Babylon with joy. You will be led out of it in peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song as you go. And all the trees in the fields will clap their hands.Juniper trees will grow where there used to be bushes that had thorns on them. And myrtle trees will grow where there used to be thorns. That will bring me great fame. It will be a lasting reminder of what I can do. It will stand forever.”

You formed the mountains by your power. You showed how strong you are.

The people of Jerusalem will say,“ We take great delight in the Lord. We are joyful because we belong to our God. He has dressed us with salvation as if it were our clothes. He has put robes of godliness on us. We are like a groom who is dressed up for his wedding. We are like a bride who decorates herself with her jewels.The soil makes the young plant come up. A garden causes seeds to grow. In the same way, the Lord and King will make godliness grow. And all the nations will praise him.”

Wild animals, don’t be afraid. The desert grasslands are turning green again. The trees are bearing their fruit. The vines and fig trees are producing rich crops.
