Psalm 103:5-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. You founded the earth upon its stable base. It will not be bent from age to age.

6. The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. The waters will remain standing above the mountains.

7. At your rebuke, they will flee. At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.

8. The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, to the place which you have founded for them.

9. You have set a limit that they will not cross. And they will not return to cover the earth.

10. You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.

11. All the wild beasts of the field will drink. The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.

12. Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.

13. You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,

14. producing grass for cattle and herbs for the service of men. So may you draw bread from the earth,
