Psalm 104:10-18

New Catholic Bible

^10 [a]You made springs gush forth in the valleys
    and flow between the mountains.
¹¹ They supply water to every beast of the field,
    and from them the wild asses quench their thirst.
¹² On the banks the birds of the air build nests
    and sing among the branches.
^13 [b]From your dwelling you water the mountains,
    enriching the earth with the fruit of your labor.
¹⁴ You provide grass for the cattle,
    and the plants for man to cultivate.
You bring forth food from the earth
¹⁵     and wine to gladden the heart^[c] of man,
oil to make his face shine
    and bread to strengthen his body.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord have fruit in abundance,
    the cedars of Lebanon^[d] that he planted.
¹⁷ In them the birds build their nests;
    in the fir trees the stork makes its home.
¹⁸ The high mountains are inhabited by the wild goats;
    in the rocky crags the badgers^[e] find refuge.
