“Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.”
The affirmation that the earth has yielded its increase articulates that blessing is manifest in material fertility and abundance. The reference to God blessing the people indicates that divine blessing has been effectual: the community has experienced fruitfulness. This verse grounds the petition in the concrete experience of material blessing and agricultural success.
