4. and making the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.
5. He established the earth on its foundations;it will never be shaken.
6. You covered it with the deepas if it were a garment;the waters stood above the mountains.
7. At Your rebuke the waters fled;at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away —
8. mountains rose and valleys sank —to the place You established for them.
9. You set a boundary they cannot cross;they will never cover the earth again.
10. He causes the springs to gush into the valleys;they flow between the mountains.
11. They supply water for every wild beast;the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. The birds of the sky live beside the springs;they sing among the foliage.
13. He waters the mountains from His palace;the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.
14. He causes grass to grow for the livestockand provides crops for man to cultivate,producing food from the earth,
15. wine that makes man’s heart glad —making his face shine with oil —and bread that sustains man’s heart.
16. The trees of the Lord flourish, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.
