Psalms 104:13-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. You are the one who waters the mountains from his upper chambers. The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

14. who causes grass to grow for the cattle and herbs for the service of humankind, to bring forth food from the earth,

15. and wine that makes glad the heart of man, so that their faces shine from oil, and bread that strengthens the heart of man.

16. The trees of Yahweh drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted,

17. where birds make their nest. The stork has its home in the fir trees.

18. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19. He made the moon for appointed times; the sun knows its time for setting.

20. You make darkness, and it is night, when all the animals of the forest creep about.

21. The young lions are roaring for the prey and seeking their food from God.

22. When the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens.

23. Humankind goes out to its work, and to its labor until evening.

24. How many are your works, O Yahweh; all of them you have done in wisdom. The earth is full of your creatures.

25. This is the great and wide sea, in which are moving animals without number, living things small and great.

26. There the ships sail. Leviathan is there that you formed to play with.

27. They all wait for you to give them their food at the proper time.

28. You give to them; they gather it. You open your hand, they are filled with what is good.
