Psalms 104:10-18

Psalms 104

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

11They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches.

13He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.

14He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:

15wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.

16The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,

17where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.

18The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.
