Context of Psalms 104:15

13He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth, And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making [his] face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart. 16The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted, 17Where the birds make their nests; [as for] the stork, the fir trees are her house.
