Meditating on God’s Works

Day 183, 07/10/2010, Meditating on God’s Works
Wow, Our God does amazing things!10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills,

11 giving drink to every wild animal; the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By the streams the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the branches.
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle,and plants for people to use, to bring forth food from the earth,
15 and wine to gladden the human heart, oil to make the face shine,and bread to strengthen the human heart.
16 The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly,the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests; the stork has its home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the coneys.
19 You have made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
20 You make darkness, and it is night,when all the animals of the forest come creeping out.
21 The young lions roar for their prey,seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they withdrawand lie down in their dens.
23 People go out to their workand to their labor until the evening.
24 O LORD , how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there,living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.
27 These all look to you to give them their food in due season;
28 when you give to them, they gather it up;when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works —
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,who touches the mountains and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD .NRSV
