Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 104:6-26

6You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.7At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—8the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—9You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.

10He sends forth springs in the valleys;they flow between the mountains.11They give drink to every beast of the field;the wild donkeys quench their thirst.12The birds of the air nest beside the springs;they sing among the branches.13He waters the mountains from His chambers;the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.

14He makes the grass grow for the livestockand provides crops for man to cultivate,bringing forth food from the earth:15wine that gladdens the heart of man,oil that makes his face to shine,and bread that sustains his heart.16The trees of the LORD have their fill,the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,17where the birds build their nests;the stork makes her home in the cypresses.118The high mountains are for the wild goats,the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.2

19He made the moon to mark the seasons;the sun knows when to set.20You bring darkness, and it becomes night,when all the beasts of the forest prowl.21The young lions roar for their preyand seek their food from God.22The sun rises, and they withdraw;they lie down in their dens.23Man goes forth to his workand to his labor until evening.

24How many are Your works, O LORD!In wisdom You have made them all;the earth is full of Your creatures.25Here is the sea, vast and wide,teeming with creatures beyond number,living things both great and small.26There the ships pass,and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
