[10] Thou makest springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills,
[11] they give drink to every beast of the field;
…the wild asses quench their thirst.
[12] By them the birds of the air have their habitation;


…they sing among the branches.
13] From thy lofty abode thou waterest the mountains;
….the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy work.
[14] Thou dost cause the grass to grow for the cattle,


…and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth,
[15] and wine to gladden the heart of man,
…oil to make his face shine,

…and bread to strengthen man’s heart.

[16] The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted.
[17] In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.

[18] The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the badgers.
[19] Thou hast made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
[20] Thou makest darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
[21] The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.


[22] When the sun rises, they get them away and lie down in their dens.
[23] Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
[24] O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy creatures.

I love the farm pictures. How beautifully the Psalms connect with all of our lives…even if we have to stretch our imaginations a bit. I particularly like the young lion.
