Psalms 104:10-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. You made springs flow in wadiesthat wind among the mountains.

11. They give drink to every beast of the field;here wild asses quench their thirst.

12. Beside them the birds of heaven nest;among the branches they sing.

13. You water the mountains from your chambers;from the fruit of your labor the earth abounds.

14. You make the grass grow for the cattleand plants for people’s workto bring forth food from the earth,

15. wine to gladden their hearts,oil to make their faces shine,and bread to sustain the human heart.

16. The trees of the Lord drink their fill,the cedars of Lebanon, which you planted.

17. There the birds build their nests;the stork in the junipers, its home.

18. The high mountains are for wild goats;the rocky cliffs, a refuge for badgers.

19. You made the moon to mark the seasons,the sun that knows the hour of its setting.

20. You bring darkness and night falls,then all the animals of the forest wander about.

21. Young lions roar for prey;they seek their food from God.

22. When the sun rises, they steal awayand settle down in their dens.

23. People go out to their work,to their labor till evening falls.

24. How varied are your works, Lord!In wisdom you have made them all;the earth is full of your creatures.

25. There is the sea, great and wide!It teems with countless beings,living things both large and small.

26. There ships ply their courseand Leviathan, whom you formed to play with.

27. All of these look to youto give them food in due time.
