Psalms 104:7-18

7At Your 1rebuke they fled, At the 2sound of Your thunder they hurried away.8The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the 3place which You established for them.9You set a 4boundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

10 5He sends forth 6springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;11They 7give drink to every beast of the field; The 8wild donkeys quench their thirst.12 9Beside them the birds of the heavens 10dwell; They 11lift up their voices among the branches.13 12He 13waters the mountains from His upper chambers; 14The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

14 15He causes the 16grass to grow for the 17cattle, And 18vegetation for the 19labor of man, So that 20he may bring forth 21food 22from the earth,15And 23wine which makes man’s heart glad, 24So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And 25food which 26sustains man’s heart.16The trees of the Lord 27drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,17Where the 28birds build their nests, And the 29stork, whose home is the 30fir trees.

18The high mountains are for the 31wild goats; The 32cliffs are a refuge for the 33 34shephanim.
