5. You have set the earth firmly on its foundations,and it will never be moved.
6. You placed the ocean over it like a robe,and the water covered the mountains.
7. When you rebuked the waters, they fled;they rushed away when they heard your shout of command.
8. They flowed over the mountains and into the valleys,to the place you had made for them.
9. You set a boundary they can never pass,to keep them from covering the earth again.
10. You make springs flow in the valleys,and rivers run between the hills.
11. They provide water for the wild animals;there the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. In the trees near by,the birds make their nests and sing.
13. From the sky you send rain on the hills,and the earth is filled with your blessings.
14. You make grass grow for the cattleand plants for human beings to use,so that they can grow their crops
15. and produce wine to make them happy,olive oil to make them cheerful,and bread to give them strength.
16. The cedars of Lebanon get plenty of rain —the Lord's own trees, which he planted.
