Context of Psalms 104:16
14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; that he may bring forth food out of the earth: 15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth man’s heart. The trees of the LORD are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies.
