Psalms 104:7-18

7At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

8The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed for them.

9You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.

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.
