18 How the cattle moan!

The herds mill about

because they have no pasture;

even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

19 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.

20 Even the wild animals pant for you;

the streams of water have dried up

and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.

18 How do the beasts groan!

The herds of cattle are perplexed,

Because they have no pasture;

Yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

19 O Lord, to thee will I cry:

For the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness,

And the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.

20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee:

For the rivers of waters are dried up,

And the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

18 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.

19 Lord, help us!

The fire has consumed the wilderness pastures,

and flames have burned up all the trees.

20 Even the wild animals cry out to you

because the streams have dried up,

and fire has consumed the wilderness pastures.

18 How the animals groan!

The herds of cattle are restless,

Because they have no pasture;

Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.

19 O Lord, to You I cry out;

For fire has devoured the open pastures,

And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.

20 The beasts of the field also cry out to You,

For the water brooks are dried up,

And fire has devoured the open pastures.

18 The animals are groaning!

The herds of cattle wander around confused,

because they have no grass to eat;

even the flocks of sheep suffer.

19 Lord, I am calling to you for help,

because fire has burned up the open pastures,

and flames have burned all the trees in the field.

20 Wild animals also need your help.

The streams of water have dried up,

and fire has burned up the open pastures.

18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 19 O Jehovah, to thee do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. 20 Yea, the beasts of the field pant unto thee; for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

18 How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are bewildered, for they have no pasture; the flocks of sheep also are in suffering. 19 To thee, Jehovah, do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned up all the trees of the field. 20 The beasts of the field also cry unto thee; for the water-courses are dried, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

18 The animals groan. 

Herds of cattle wander around confused. 

There’s no pasture for them. 

Even flocks of sheep are suffering. 

19 O Lord, I cry to you for help! 

Fire has burned up the open pastures. 

Flames have burned up all the trees in the orchards. 

20 Even wild animals long for you. 

Streams run dry. 

Fire has burned up the open pastures. 

18 How the animals groan!

The herds of cattle wander in confusion

since they have no pasture.

Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.

19 I call to You, Lord,

for fire has consumed

the pastures of the wilderness,

and flames have devoured

all the trees of the countryside.

20 Even the wild animals cry out to You,

for the river beds are dried up,

and fire has consumed

the pastures of the wilderness.

18 How the animals groan!

The herds of cattle wander about

because there is no pasture for them;

even the flocks of sheep are dazed.

19 To you, O Lord, I cry.

For fire has devoured

the pastures of the wilderness,

and flames have burned

all the trees of the field.

20 Even the wild animals cry to you

because the watercourses are dried up,

and fire has devoured

the pastures of the wilderness.

18 How the beasts groan;

the herds of cattle wander around

because there is no pasture for them;

the flocks of sheep are in distress.

19 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.

20 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.

18 Listen to the cattle groan!

The herds wander around.

They don’t have any grass to eat.

The flocks of sheep are also suffering.

19 Lord, I call out to you.

Fire has burned up the grasslands.

Flames have destroyed all of the trees in the fields.

20 Even the wild animals cry out to you for help.

The streams of water have dried up.

Fire has burned up the grasslands.

18 How the beasts groan!

The herds of cattle wander aimlessly

Because there is no pasture for them;

Even the flocks of sheep suffer.

19 To You, O Lord, I cry;

For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness

And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.

20 Even the beasts of the field pant for You;

For the water brooks are dried up

And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
