The Hills Are Clothed With Gladness

Autumn is a time when the hills are clothed with gladness because they shout for joy and sing at God's abundant goodness.

"You care for the land and water it;

You enrich it abundantly.

The streams of God are filled with water

to provide the people with grain,

for so You have ordained it.

You drench its furrows and level its ridges;

You soften it with showers and bless its crops.

You crown the year with Your bounty,

and Your carts overflow with abundance.

The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;

the hills are clothed with gladness.

The meadows are covered with flocks

and the valleys are mantled with grain;

they shout for joy and sing."

Psalm 65:9-13 (NIV)
