Psalms 104:7-18

7Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off –

8as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down – to the place you appointed for them.

9You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again.

10He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains.

11They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes.

13He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.

14He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground,

15as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people’s lives.

16The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

17where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live.

18The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs.
