Psalm 104:16-23
English Standard Version
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
(A)the cedars of Lebanon (B)that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for (C)the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for (D)the rock badgers.
19 He made the moon to mark the (E)seasons;[a]
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 (F)You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 (G)The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they steal away
and lie down in their (H)dens.
23 (I)Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
