Psalm 104:16-26
New King James Version
16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high hills are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the (A)rock[a] badgers.
19 (B)He appointed the moon for seasons;
The (C)sun knows its going down.
20 (D)You make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 (E)The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they gather together
And lie down in their dens.
23 Man goes out to (F)his work
And to his labor until the evening.
24 (G)O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your (H)possessions—
25 This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
26 There the ships sail about;
There is that (I)Leviathan[b]
Which You have [c]made to play there.

Psalm 104:16-26
Young's Literal Translation
16 Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
17 Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs [are] her house.
18 The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,
19 He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
20 Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
21 The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
22 The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
23 Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.
24 How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
25 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.
26 There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.

Psalm 104:16-26
New American Standard Bible
16 The trees of the Lord [a]drink their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the (A)birds build their nests,
And the (B)stork, whose home is the juniper trees.
18 The high mountains are for the (C)wild goats;
The (D)cliffs are a refuge for the (E)rock hyrax.
19 He made the moon (F)for the seasons;
The (G)sun knows the place of its setting.
20 You (H)appoint darkness and it becomes night,
In which all the (I)animals of the forest [b]prowl about.
21 The (J)young lions roar for their prey
[c]And (K)seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises they withdraw,
And they lie down in their (L)dens.
23 A person goes out to (M)his work
And to his labor until evening.
24 Lord, how (N)many are Your works!
[d]In (O)wisdom You have made them all;
The (P)earth is full of Your [e]possessions.
25 [f]There is the (Q)sea, great and [g]broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
26 The (R)ships move along there,
And [h](S)Leviathan, which You have formed to have fun in it.
