11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
“the year with thy goodness” can literally be translated, “year of thy goodness.” The green grass, the glowing flowers, the gilded crops, and the golden harvest are evidence the Lord have crowned the year with goodness. Every drop of rain, every white lilly, and every ear of corn provides evidence that God is kind and merciful to His creation.
“Fatness” is a sign of health . . . of bounty . . . of plenty.
“thy paths drop fatness” refers to blooming fertility, pharonic production, treasured beauty, and the handsome abundance of life on earth due to the mysterious weather patterns that God has graciously provided for our good.
The verb “drop” can literally be translated “trickle” or “drip” fatness — an obvious reference to the abundance of dew, gentle rains, evening showers, and to the processes so numbly described as evaporation, convection, condensation, and precipitation.
In what ever country God visits, He leaves behind opulent crops, beautiful blossoming flowers, and a copious amount of life-producing plants. God is good and He provides good things for His creation. He does not take. He is not stingy. He injures no one. He desires to bless all men with His kindness. But, men are theives robbing God of His glory, robbing men of truth by attributing the marvels of the earth’s abundance to an impersonal, impotent, non-existant, imperial force banal men call “Mother Nature” — an idolatrous doctrine from the pits of hell which starves souls and leaves depraved minds in its wake of alledged enlightenment.
