20Even wild dogs and owls honor me.

That is because I provide water in the desert

for my people to drink.

I cause streams to flow in the dry and empty land

for my chosen ones.

21I do it for the people I made for myself.

I want them to sing praise to me.

The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

so my chosen people can be refreshed.

and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

so they might make known my praise.

They shall shew forth my praise.
