Psalms 104:6-26
6Thou coveredstH3680 it with the deepH8415 as with a garmentH3830: the watersH4325 stoodH5975 above the mountainsH2022.
7AtH4480 thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127; at the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 they hastedH2648 away.
8They go upH5927 by the mountainsH2022; they go downH3381 by the valleysH1237 unto the placeH4725 whichH2088 thou hast foundedH3245 for them.1
9Thou hast setH7760 a boundH1366 that they may not pass overH5674; that they turn not againH7725 to coverH3680 the earthH776.
10He sendethH7971 the springsH4599 into the valleysH5158, which runH1980 among the hillsH2022.23
11They give drinkH8248 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704: the wild donkeysH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772.4
12By them shall the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 have their habitationH7931, which singH6963H5414 amongH996 the branchesH6073.5
13He waterethH8248 the hillsH2022 from his chambersH5944: the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639.
14He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779 for the cattleH929, and herbH6212 for the serviceH5656 of manH120: that he may bring forthH3318 foodH3899 out of the earthH776;
15And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055 the heartH3824 of manH582, and oilH8081 to make his faceH6440 to shineH6670, and breadH3899 which strengthenethH5582 man’sH582 heartH3824.6
16The treesH6086 of YhwhH3068 are fullH7646 of sap; the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, which he hath plantedH5193;
17Where the birdsH6833 make their nestsH7077: as for the storkH2624, the fir treesH1265 are her houseH1004.
18The highH1364 hillsH2022 are a refugeH4268 for the wild goatsH3277; and the rocksH5553 for the coniesH8227.
19He appointedH6213 the moonH3394 for seasonsH4150: the sunH8121 knowethH3045 his going downH3996.
20Thou makestH7896 darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915: wherein all the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 do creepH7430 forth.7
21The young lionsH3715 roarH7580 after their preyH2964, and seekH1245 their meatH400 from GodH410.
22The sunH8121 arisethH2224, they gather themselves togetherH622, and lay them downH7257 in their densH4585.
23ManH120 goeth forthH3318 unto his workH6467 and to his labourH5656 until the eveningH6153.
24O YhwhH3068, how manifoldH7231 are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy richesH7075.
25So is this greatH1419 and wideH3027H7342 seaH3220, wherein are things creepingH7431 innumerableH4557, both smallH6996 and greatH1419 beastsH2416.
26There goH1980 the shipsH591: there is that leviathanH3882, whom thou hast madeH3335 to playH7832 therein.8
