Psalms 104:7-18

7But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;

8they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.

9You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.

10He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains.

11They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.

13He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

14He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth:

15wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.

16The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers.

18The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.
