Psalm 104:12–14

12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters;

they sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;

the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,

and plants for people to cultivate—

bringing forth food from the earth:

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

Which sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the hills from his chambers:

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man:

That he may bring forth food out of the earth;

12 The birds nest beside the streams

and sing among the branches of the trees.

13 You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home,

and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.

14 You cause grass to grow for the livestock

and plants for people to use.

You allow them to produce food from the earth—

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

They sing among the branches.

13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers;

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,

And vegetation for the service of man,

That he may bring forth food from the earth,

12 Wild birds make nests by the water;

they sing among the tree branches.

13 You water the mountains from above.

The earth is full of the things you made.

14 You make the grass for cattle

and vegetables for the people.

You make food grow from the earth.

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

They sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers:

The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man;

That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

12 The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches. 13 He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14 He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,

12 The birds live by the streams. 

They sing among the branches. 

13 You water the mountains from your home above. 

You fill the earth with the fruits of your labors. 

14 You make grass grow for cattle 

and make vegetables for humans to use 

in order to get food from the ground. 

12 The birds of the sky live beside the springs;

they sing among the foliage.

13 He waters the mountains from His palace;

the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.

14 He causes grass to grow for the livestock

and provides crops for man to cultivate,

producing food from the earth,

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

they sing among the branches.

13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;

the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.

14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle

and plants for people to cultivate,

to bring forth food from the earth

12 Along them the birds of the heavens abide.

From among the branches they sing.

13 You are the one who waters the mountains

from his upper chambers.

The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

14 who causes grass to grow for the cattle

and herbs for the service of humankind,

to bring forth food from the earth,

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

They sing among the branches.

13 You water the mountains from your palace high in the clouds.

The earth is filled with the things you have made.

14 You make grass grow for the cattle

and plants for people to take care of.

That’s how they get food from the earth.

12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;

They lift up their voices among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from His upper chambers;

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,

And vegetation for the labor of man,

So that he may bring forth food from the earth,
