6 You acovered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
7 At Your arebuke they fled,
At the bsound of Your thunder they hurried away in alarm.
8 The mountains went up; the valleys went down
To the aplace which You founded for them.
9 You set a aboundary that they may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.
10 He sends forth asprings in the valleys;
They flow between the mountains;
11 They agive water to every beast of the field;
The bwild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Above them the birds of the heavens adwell;
They give forth their voices among the branches.
13 He agives water to the mountains from His upper chambers;
bThe earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
14 He causes the agrass to grow for the cattle,
And bvegetation for man’s cultivation,
To bring forth food cfrom the earth,
15 And awine which makes man’s heart glad,
bTo make his face glisten more than oil,
And food which csustains man’s heart.
16 The trees of Yahweh are satisfied,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the abirds build their nests,
The bstork’s home is in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the awild goats;
The bcliffs are a refuge for the cshephanim.
19 He made the moon afor the seasons;
The bsun knows the place of its setting.
20 You aappoint darkness so that it becomes night,
In which all the bbeasts of the forest ccreep about.
21 The ayoung lions roar to go after their prey
And to bseek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises they gather together
And lie down in their adens.
23 Man goes forth to ahis work
And to his labor until evening.
24 How anumerous are Your works, O Yahweh!
In bwisdom You have made them all;
The cearth is full of Your possessions.
25 This is the asea, great and broad,
There the creeping things are without number,
Creatures both small and great.
26 There the aships move along,
And bLeviathan, which You have formed to play in it.
