Psalm 104:16-23

Good News Translation

¹⁶ The cedars of Lebanon get plenty of rain—
    the Lord's own trees, which he planted.
¹⁷ There the birds build their nests;
    the storks nest in the fir trees.
¹⁸ The wild goats live in the high mountains,
    and the rock badgers hide in the cliffs.

¹⁹ You created the moon to mark the months;
    the sun knows the time to set.
²⁰ You made the night, and in the darkness
    all the wild animals come out.
²¹ The young lions roar while they hunt,
    looking for the food that God provides.
²² When the sun rises, they go back
    and lie down in their dens.
²³ Then people go out to do their work
    and keep working until evening.
