15  ^gIn the light of a king’s face there is life,

and his ^dfavor is like ^hthe clouds that bring the spring rain.

3  ^lTherefore the showers have been withheld,

and the spring rain has not come;

yet you have ^mthe forehead of a whore;

you refuse to be ashamed.

1  Ask rain ^bfrom the Lord

in the season of ^cthe spring rain,

from the Lord ^dwho makes the storm clouds,

and ^ehe will give them showers of rain,

to everyone the vegetation in the field.
