104:10 He turns springs into streams; 1
they flow between the mountains.
104:11 They provide water for all the animals in the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
104:12 The birds of the sky live beside them;
they chirp among the bushes. 2
104:13 He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; 3
the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. 4
104:14 He provides grass 5 for the cattle,
and crops for people to cultivate, 6
so they can produce food from the ground, 7
104:15 as well as wine that makes people feel so good, 8
and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, 9
as well as food that sustains people’s lives. 10
104:16 The trees of the Lord 11 receive all the rain they need, 12
the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,
104:17 where the birds make nests,
near the evergreens in which the herons live. 13
104:18 The wild goats live in the high mountains; 14
the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs.
