The Lord's Justice and Abundant Mercy

6

The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.

7

At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.

8

The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.

9

Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.

10

Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.

11

All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.

12

Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.

13

Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:

14

Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:

15

And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart.

16

The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:

17

There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.

18

The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
