Providing Water and Sustaining Life on Land

Psalms 104:10-18

You make springs gush forth in the vadis; they flow between the hills,

supplying water to all the wild animals; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

On their banks the birds of the air build their nests; among the branches they sing.

You water the mountains from your palace; the earth is satisfied with how you provide

You grow grass for the cattle; and for people you grow the plants they need to bring forth bread from the earth,

wine that gladdens the human heart, oil to make faces glow, and food to sustain their strength.

ADONAI's trees are satisfied -the cedars of the L'vanon, which he has planted.

In them sparrows build their nests, while storks live in the fir trees.

For the wild goats there are the high mountains, while the coneys find refuge in the rocks.
