PRAISING GOD - PART 24

                                           PRAISING GOD

                                               PART 24




God 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
And wine which makes man's heart glad
So that he may make his face glisten with
oil
And food which sustains man's heart
The trees of the Lord drink their fill
The cedars of Lebanon that He planted
where the birds build their nests
And the stork whose home is the fir trees

The high mountains are for the wild goats
The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers
He made the moon for the seasons
The sun knows the place of its setting
Thou dost appoint darkness and it becomes 
night
In which all the beasts of the forest prowl 
about
The young lions roar after their prey
and seek their food from God
When the sun rises they withdraw
and lie down in their dens
Man goes forth to his work
and to his labor till evening.

O Lord, how many are Thy works 
In wisdom Thou hast made them all
The earth is full of Thy possessions
There is the sea, great and broad
in which are swarms without number
animals both small and great
There the ships move along
And the Leviathan, which Thou hast formed
to sport in it.
