14 You make grass to grow for cattle,
plants for us to cultivate–
bringing from the earth its produce,
food for all people to eat.
15 You make wine to cheer the people,
bringing joy to human hearts
oil that makes their face resplendent,
bread that strength and health impart.
16 Plenteous water feeds the forests,
trees which to the LORD belong,
mighty cedars that he planted
on the heights of Lebanon.
17 Birds reside among the cedars;
storks upon the pine trees nest.
18 Wild goats live among high mountains;
conies in the crags find rest.
19 See the moon, which marks the seasons,
setting sun which knows its time;
20 you bring night by making darkness
when the beasts through forests roam.
21 Lions roar throughout the forest,
while from God they seek their prey;
22 then at dawn in dens they gather
23 while we go to work all day.
24 LORD, how many are your wonders!
Wisely you have made them all.
Earth is full of all your creatures,
living things both great and small.
25 Here’s the sea, so vast and spacious,
filled with life that multiplies.
26 There Leviathan is playing;
there the sailing ships pass by.
The psalm continues with Psalm 104C.
