Shower, O heavens, from above,
    and let the skies rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation may spring up,
    and let it cause righteousness to sprout up also.

For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
    and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
    to spring up before all the nations.

Isaiah 45:8, Isaiah 61:11, NRSV

These verses are part of the August 7 daily devotional reading in Light for Each Day.
