18Why did the beasts groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.
19To thee, O Lord, will I cry: because fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness: and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the country.
20Yea, and the beasts of the field have looked up to thee, as a garden bed that thirsteth after rain, for the springs of waters are dried up, and fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness.

How the beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer.
To you, O Lord, I call.
For fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness,
and flame has burned
all the trees of the field.
Even the beasts of the field pant for you
because the water brooks are dried up,
and fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness.

How the cattle moan!
The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;
even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
To you, Lord, I call,
for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness
and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
Even the wild animals pant for you;
the streams of water have dried up
and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.

since they have no pasture.
Even the flocks of sheep and goats suffer punishment.
I call to you, Lord,
for fire has consumed
the pastures of the wilderness,
and flames have devoured
all the trees of the orchard.
Even the wild animals cry out to you,
for the river beds are dried up,
and fire has consumed
the pastures of the wilderness.

How the animals moan with hunger!
The herds of cattle wander about confused,
because they have no pasture.
The flocks of sheep and goats bleat in misery.
Lord, help us!

and flames have burned up all the trees.
Even the wild animals cry out to you
because the streams have dried up,
and fire has consumed the wilderness pastures.

How the beasts groan;
the herds of cattle wander around
because there is no pasture for them;
the flocks of sheep are in distress.
To you, O Yahweh, I cry out,
because fire has devoured
the pastures of the desert,
and flames burned
all the trees of the field.
Also, the beasts of the field
long for you,
because the courses of water
are dried up,
and fire has devoured
the pastures of the desert.

For the rivers of waters are dried up,
And the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
