Psalms 104:10-23

10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills;
11 they ^agive drink to every beast of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
they sing among the branches.
13 ^bFrom your lofty abode you ^cwater the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause ^dthe grass to grow for the livestock
and ^eplants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth ^ffood from the earth
15 and ^gwine to gladden the heart of man,
^hoil to make his face shine
and bread to ⁱstrengthen man’s heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
^jthe cedars of Lebanon ^kthat he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for ^lthe wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for ^mthe rock badgers.
19 He made the moon to mark the ⁿseasons; ^{▼▼Or the appointed times (compare Genesis 1:14)}
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 ^pYou make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 ^qThe young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they steal away
and lie down in their ^rdens.
23 ^sMan goes out to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
