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.
18. Wild goats find a homein the tall mountains,and small animals can hidebetween the rocks.
19. You created the moonto tell us the seasons.The sun knows when to set,
20. and you made the darkness,so the animals in the forestcould come out at night.
21. Lions roar as they huntfor the food you provide.
22. But when morning comes,they return to their dens,
23. then we go out to workuntil the end of day.
24. Our Lord, by your wisdomyou made so many things;the whole earth is coveredwith your living creatures.
25. But what about the oceanso big and wide?It is alive with creatures,large and small.
