God's Word Translation

Psalms 104:12-24 God's Word Translation (GW)

12. The birds live by the streams.They sing among the branches.

13. You water the mountains from your home above.You fill the earth with the fruits of your labors.

14. You make grass grow for cattleand make vegetables for humans to usein order to get food from the ground.

15. You make wine to cheer human hearts,olive oil to make faces shine,and bread to strengthen human hearts.

16. The Lord’s trees, the cedars in Lebanon which he planted,drink their fill.

17. Birds build their nests in them.Storks make their homes in fir trees.

18. The high mountains are for wild goats.The rocks are a refuge for badgers.

19. He created the moon, which marks the seasons,and the sun, which knows when to set.

20. He brings darkness, and it is nighttime,when all the wild animals in the forest come out.

21. The young lions roar for their preyand seek their food from God.

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

23. Then people go to do their work,to do their tasks until evening.

24. What a large number of things you have made, O Lord!You made them all by wisdom.The earth is filled with your creatures.
