13He waters the mountains from his heavenly rooms; the earth is satisfied from the fruit of your work.13He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
14He causes grass to sprout for the cattle and plants for people to cultivate, to produce food from the land,14He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:
15like wine that makes the heart of people happy, oil that makes the face glow, and food that sustains people. 15wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
16The loftiest trees are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted,16The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,
17the birds build their nests there, and the heron builds its nest among the evergreen.17where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.

24How numerous are your works, LORD! You have made them all wisely; the earth is filled with your creations. 24How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.
25There is the deep and wide sea, teeming with numberless creatures, living things small and great.25Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.
26There, the ships pass through; Leviathan, which you created, frolics in it.26There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
27All of them look to you to provide them their food at the proper time.27All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.
28They receive what you give them; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.28When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29When you withdraw your favor, they are disappointed; Take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.29When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.

31May the glory of the LORD last forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works!31May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
32He looks at the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they smoke.32He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
33I will sing to the LORD with my whole being; I will sing to my God continually!33I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34May my thoughts be pleasing to him; indeed, I will rejoice in the LORD!34May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
35May sinners disappear from the land and the wicked live no longer. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!35May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!
