Psalms

Psalm 104:10–13

¹⁰He sends forth springs in the valleys;

they flow between the mountains.

¹¹They give drink to every beast of the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²The birds of the air nest beside the springs;

they sing among the branches.

¹³He waters the mountains from His chambers;

the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
