ESVEnglish Standard Version

The wild beasts will honor me,

the jackals and the ostriches,

for I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

to give drink to my chosen people,

the people whom I formed for myself

that they might declare my praise.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The wild animals honor me,

the jackals and the owls,

because I provide water in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland,

to give drink to my people, my chosen,

the people I formed for myself

that they may proclaim my praise.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Wild animals—

jackals and ostriches—will honor me,

because I provide water in the wilderness,

and rivers in the desert,

to give drink to my chosen people.

The people I formed for myself

will declare my praise.

NLTNew Living Translation

The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

the jackals and owls, too,

for giving them water in the desert.

Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland

so my chosen people can be refreshed.

I have made Israel for myself,

and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The animals of the field will honor me,

jackals and daughters of the ostrich,

for I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

to give a drink to my chosen people,

this people whom I formed for myself,

so they might make known my praise.
