Psalms 104:7-18

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.

14You give grass for farm animals to eat. You give crops for people to plant. In that way, people get food from the ground.

15They grow grapes for wine, which makes them happy. They grow olive trees for oil, which makes their faces shine. They grow grain for bread, which makes them strong.

16The Lord's own trees receive plenty of rain. They are the cedar trees that he planted in Lebanon.

17The birds make their nests there. Storks live there in the fir trees.

18The wild goats live high up in the mountains. Rock badgers hide among the rocks.
