Psalms 104:14-18

14 1He causes the 2grass to grow for the 3cattle, And 4vegetation for the 5labor of man, So that 6he may bring forth 7food 8from the earth,15And 9wine which makes man’s heart glad, 10So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And 11food which 12sustains man’s heart.16The trees of the Lord 13drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,17Where the 14birds build their nests, And the 15stork, whose home is the 16fir trees.

18The high mountains are for the 17wild goats; The 18cliffs are a refuge for the 19 20shephanim.
