¹² The birds nest beside the streams
    and sing among the branches of the trees.

¹⁰ wild animals and all livestock,
    small scurrying animals and birds,

¹¹ I know every bird on the mountains,
    and all the animals of the field are mine.

⁹ He gives food to the wild animals
    and feeds the young ravens when they cry.

¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are well cared for—
    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
¹⁷ There the birds make their nests,
    and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.

³ Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
at a place near your altar,
    O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God!
