9. Now you have set boundaries,so that the water will neverflood the earth again.
10. You provide streams of waterin the hills and valleys,
11. so that the donkeysand other wild animalscan satisfy their thirst.
12. Birds build their nests nearbyand sing in the trees.
13. From your home aboveyou send rain on the hillsand water the earth.
14. You let the earth producegrass for cattle,plants for our food,
15. wine to cheer us up,olive oil for our skin,and grain for our health.
16. Our Lord, your treesalways have water,and so do the cedarsyou planted in Lebanon.
17. Birds nest in those trees,and storks make their homein the fir trees.
