God's Word Translation

Psalms 104:9-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. Water cannot cross the boundary you setand cannot come back to cover the earth.

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

11. Every wild animal drinks ⌊from them⌋.Wild donkeys quench their thirst.

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.
