Psalm 104:14-23

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ Thou dost cause the grass to grow for the cattle,
    and plants for man to cultivate,^[a]
that he may bring forth food from the earth,
¹⁵     and wine to gladden the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
    and bread to strengthen man’s heart.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
    the cedars of Lebanon which 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 the wild goats;
    the rocks are a refuge for the badgers.
¹⁹ Thou hast made the moon to mark the seasons;
    the sun knows its time for setting.
²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night,
    when all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
²¹ The young lions roar for their prey,
    seeking their food from God.
²² When the sun rises, they get them away
    and lie down in their dens.
²³ Man goes forth to his work
    and to his labor until the evening.
