Psalm 104:5-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
II
5 [a]You fixed the earth on its foundation,
so it can never be shaken.
6 The deeps covered it like a garment;
above the mountains stood the waters.
7 At your rebuke they took flight;
at the sound of your thunder they fled.(A)
8 They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys
to the place you had fixed for them.
9 You set a limit they cannot pass;
never again will they cover the earth.(B)
III
10 You made springs flow in wadies
that wind among the mountains.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field;(C)
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 cattle
and plants for people’s work
to 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 [b]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.(D)
18 The high mountains are for wild goats;
the rocky cliffs, a refuge for badgers.

Psalm 104:5-18
New International Version
5 He set the earth(A) on its foundations;(B)
it can never be moved.
6 You covered it(C) with the watery depths(D) as with a garment;
the waters stood(E) above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke(F) the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder(G) they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned(H) for them.
9 You set a boundary(I) they cannot cross;
never again will they cover the earth.
10 He makes springs(J) pour water into the ravines;
it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water(K) to all the beasts of the field;
the wild donkeys(L) quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky(M) nest by the waters;
they sing among the branches.(N)
13 He waters the mountains(O) from his upper chambers;(P)
the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.(Q)
14 He makes grass grow(R) for the cattle,
and plants for people to cultivate—
bringing forth food(S) from the earth:
15 wine(T) that gladdens human hearts,
oil(U) to make their faces shine,
and bread that sustains(V) their hearts.
16 The trees of the Lord(W) are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon(X) that he planted.
17 There the birds(Y) make their nests;
the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;(Z)
the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.(AA)
