Psalms 104:10-23

10 1He sends forth 2springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;11They 3give drink to every beast of the field; The 4wild donkeys quench their thirst.12 5Beside them the birds of the heavens 6dwell; They 7lift up their voices among the branches.13 8He 9waters the mountains from His upper chambers; 10The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

14 11He causes the 12grass to grow for the 13cattle, And 14vegetation for the 15labor of man, So that 16he may bring forth 17food 18from the earth,15And 19wine which makes man’s heart glad, 20So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And 21food which 22sustains man’s heart.16The trees of the Lord 23drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,17Where the 24birds build their nests, And the 25stork, whose home is the 26fir trees.

18The high mountains are for the 27wild goats; The 28cliffs are a refuge for the 29 30shephanim.19He made the moon 31for the seasons; The 32sun knows the place of its setting.20You 33appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the 34beasts of the forest 35prowl about.21The 36young lions roar after their prey 37And 38seek their food from God.22When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their 39dens.23Man goes forth to 40his work And to his labor until evening.
