- He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;
- They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
- Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches.
- He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
- He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth,
|
- And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart.
- The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
- Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.
- The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.
- He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting.
|
- You appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about.
- The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God.
- When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their dens.
- Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening.
