Psalms 104:10-23

10You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills;

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

12Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.

13From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.

14You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth

15and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man's heart.

16The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.

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

19He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.

20You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

21The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.

22When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens.

23Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.
