5 He sets fast the earth upon its foundations, [That] it should not be moved for ever and aye. 6 [With] the deep as [with] a garment Thou didst cover it, Above the mountains stood the waters. 7 At Thy rebuke they fled, At the voice of Thy thunder they were scared away. 8 --Up rose the mountains, down sank the valleys-- To the place which Thou hadst founded for them. 9 A bound hast Thou set [that] they should not pass over, Nor return to cover the earth. 10 He sends forth springs into the glens, Between the hills they take their way. 11 They give drink to every beast of the field, The wild asses slake their thirst. 12 Above them dwell the birds of heaven, From between the branches do they give their note. 13 He waters the mountains from His chambers, With the fruit of Thy works the earth is satisfied. 14 He makes grass to spring for the cattle, And the green herb for the service of men, To bring forth bread from the earth, 15 And that wine may gladden the heart of feeble man; To cause his face to shine with oil, And that bread may sustain the heart of feeble man. 16 The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, The cedars of Lebanon which He has planted, 17 Wherein the birds nest; The stork--the cypresses are her house. 18 The high mountains are for the wild goats, The rocks are a refuge for the conies. 19 He has made the moon for (_i.e._, to measure) seasons, The sun knows its going down. 20 Thou appointest darkness and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth. 21 The young lions roar for their prey, And to seek from God their meat. 22 The sun rises--they steal away, And lay them down in their dens. 23 Forth goes man to his work And to his labour till evening. 24 How manifold are Thy works, Jehovah! In wisdom hast Thou made them all, The earth is full of Thy possessions. 25 Yonder [is] the sea, great and spread on either hand, There are creeping things without number, Living creatures small and great. 26 There the ships go on, [There is] that Leviathan whom Thou hast formed to sport in it. 27 All these look to Thee, To give their food in its season. 28 Thou givest to them--they gather; Thou openest Thy hand--they are filled [with] good. 29 Thou hidest Thy face--they are panic-struck; Thou withdrawest their breath--they expire, And return to their dust. 30 Thou sendest forth Thy breath--they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the earth.
