Psalms 65:13

The meadows are clothed with sheep;

And the vales are decked with wheat;

They shout for joy, yea sing.

With the last line cp. Isaiah 55:12. The vales(Heb. -çmek) denote "the long broad sweeps sometimes found between parallel ranges of hills" (Sinai and Pal., p. 481) which were the natural cornfields of Palestine (1 Samuel 6:13). The graphic touch of the Heb., which represents the pastures and vales as shouting one to another, can hardly be preserved in translation.
