Psalms 104:11-13

104:11 They provide water for all the animals in the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

104:12 The birds of the sky live beside them;

they chirp among the bushes. ¹ 

104:13 He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; ² 

the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. ³ 

[104:12]  ¹ tn Heb “among the thick foliage they give a sound.”

[104:13]  ¹ tn Heb “from his upper rooms.”

[104:13]  ² tn Heb “from the fruit of your works the earth is full.” The translation assumes that “fruit” is literal here. If “fruit” is understood more abstractly as “product; result,” then one could translate, “the earth flourishes as a result of your deeds” (cf. NIV, NRSV, REB).
