Psalms 104:10-23

10You send springs into the valleys; Their waters flow among the mountains.

11They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst there.

12Beside them the birds of the heavens have their nests; They lift up their voices and sing among the branches.

13He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

14He causes grass to grow for the cattle, And all that the earth produces for cultivation by man, So that he may bring food from the earth—

15And wine which makes the heart of man glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And bread to sustain and strengthen man’s heart.

16The trees of the Lord drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He has planted,

17Where the birds make their nests; As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the shephanim.

19He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the [exact] place of its setting.

20You [O Lord] make darkness and it becomes night, In which prowls about every wild beast of the forest.

21The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God.

22When the sun arises, they withdraw And lie down in their dens.

23Man goes out to his work And remains at his labor until evening.
