Thy works.--If we go by the parallelism, this means the "rain," here called God's works, as in Psalm 65:9 (see Note), his "river." Others prefer to see a general reference to the operations of nature which produce fruit.

Verse 13. - He (i.e. God) watereth the hills from his chambers (comp. ver. 3). The mountains themselves, even their highest tops, are not left dry. Where springs cannot reach, rain falls from God's "chambers" in the sky, and spreads equal refreshment. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. The whole earth - mountains, hills, plains, valleys - is thus "satisfied," i.e. sufficiently supplied with water, by the means which God has elaborated.
