On mountains, and on hills, and on seas, and on rivers, and on deserts say,
“Blessed are His works that He made in the beginning.”

‘Blessed is He that made the great sea.’ Only if he sees it occasionally.”
On rain and on good news say, “Blessed is He who is good, and does good.”
And on bad news say, “Blessed are you the true judge.”
