You built foundations for the earth, and it will never be shaken. You covered the earth with the ocean that rose above the mountains. And the water flowed down the mountains and through the valleys to the place you prepared. Now you have set boundaries, so that the water will never flood the earth again. You provide streams of water in the hills and valleys, so that the donkeys and other wild animals can satisfy their thirst.
Birds build their nests nearby and sing in the trees.
From your home above you send rain on the hills and water the earth. You let the earth produce grass for cattle, plants for our food, wine to cheer us up, olive oil for our skin, and grain for our health. Our, LORD, your trees always have water, and so do the cedars you planted in Lebanon. Birds nest in those trees, and storks make their home in the fir trees. In the tall mountains, and small animals can hide between the rocks.
