Context of Psalms 104:15

13He waters mountains from His upper rooms. The earth is full of the fruit of Your labors. 14He causes grass to spring up for the cattle, and vegetation for man to cultivate, to bring forth bread out of the earth, wine that makes man’s heart glad, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains man’s heart. 16The trees of Adonai are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted, 17where birds make their nests, and the stork—her home is the fir trees.
