To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
