New Testament

Psalm 104:8-18 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. They flowed down the mountains. They went into the valleys. They went to the place you appointed for them.

9. You drew a line they can't cross. They will never cover the earth again.

10. You make springs pour water into the valleys. It flows between the mountains.

11. The springs give water to all of the wild animals. The wild donkeys satisfy their thirst.

12. The birds of the air build nests by the waters. They sing among the branches.

13. You water the mountains from your palace high in the clouds. The earth is filled with the things you have made.

14. You make grass grow for the cattle and plants for people to take care of. That's how they get food from the earth.

15. There is wine to make people glad. There is olive oil to make them healthy. And there is bread to make them strong.

16. The cedar trees of Lebanon belong to the Lord. You planted them and gave them plenty of water.

17. There the birds make their nests. The stork has its home in the pine trees.

18. The high mountains belong to the wild goats. The cliffs are a safe place for the rock badgers.
