Once again, the author wants to emphasize the Creator’s handiwork. He sends the rain from on high and ensures that all life on earth benefits from his goodness. Therefore, man has ample reason to praise this mighty God and to agree with what it says in Psalm 104:24–25:
“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.”
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
