Psalms 104:7-18

7At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.

8Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.

9Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

10You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.

11They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.

13You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.

14You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth—

15wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.

16The trees of the Lord are well cared for— the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.

18High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.
