Psalm 103:9–12

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;

never again will they cover the earth.

10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;

it flows between the mountains.

11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters;

they sing among the branches.

9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.

10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;

they flow between the hills;

11 they give drink to every beast of the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;

they sing among the branches.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys,

Which run among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field:

The wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,

Which sing among the branches.

9 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,

so they would never again cover the earth.

10 You make springs pour water into the ravines,

so streams gush down from the mountains.

11 They provide water for all the animals,

and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds nest beside the streams

and sing among the branches of the trees.

9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,

That they may not return to cover the earth.

10 He sends the springs into the valleys;

They flow among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;

They sing among the branches.

9 You set borders for the seas that they cannot cross,

so water will never cover the earth again.

10 You make springs pour into the ravines;

they flow between the mountains.

11 They water all the wild animals;

the wild donkeys come there to drink.

12 Wild birds make nests by the water;

they sing among the tree branches.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;

They run among the mountains;

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;

They sing among the branches.

9 Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains; 11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.

9 Water cannot cross the boundary you set 

and cannot come back to cover the earth. 

10 You make water gush from springs into valleys. 

It flows between the mountains. 

11 Every wild animal drinks ⸤from them⸥. 

Wild donkeys quench their thirst. 

12 The birds live by the streams. 

They sing among the branches. 

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;

they will never cover the earth again.

10 He causes the springs to gush into the valleys;

they flow between the mountains.

11 They supply water for every wild beast;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky live beside the springs;

they sing among the foliage.

9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.

10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;

they flow between the hills,

11 giving drink to every wild animal;

the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By the streams the birds of the air have their habitation;

they sing among the branches.

9 You set a boundary that they may not cross over,

so that they would not return to cover the earth.

10 You are the one who sends forth springs into the valleys;

they flow between the mountains.

11 They give drink for every beast of the field.

The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Along them the birds of the heavens abide.

From among the branches they sing.

9 You drew a line they can’t cross.

They will never cover the earth again.

10 You make springs pour water into the valleys.

It flows between the mountains.

11 The springs give water to all of the wild animals.

The wild donkeys satisfy their thirst.

12 The birds of the air build nests by the waters.

They sing among the branches.

9 You set a boundary that they may not pass over,

So that they will not return to cover the earth.

10 He sends forth springs in the valleys;

They flow between the mountains;

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;

They lift up their voices among the branches.
