Psalms 104:5-13

5You, Lord, built the earth on its strong foundations. Nothing will ever shake it from its place.

6You covered the earth with deep water, like a coat. The water covered the tops of the mountains.

7But when you shouted, the water went back. It ran away, when you shouted like thunder.

8The water poured down from the mountains, and it went down into the valleys. It went to stay in the place that you had chosen for it.

9You made a border for the water so that it could not cross. Never again will the water cover the earth.

10You cause springs of water to pour along the valleys. Streams of water run between the hills.

11They give water to all the wild animals. Wild donkeys drink from them.

12The birds make their homes beside the streams. They sing from the branches of the trees.

13You pour down rain on the mountains from your home above the sky. You cause many fruits to grow on the earth.
