The second part.
[verse 10] He sendeth the springs to strong streams or lakes, Which run do full swift among the huge hills: [verse 11] Where both the wilde asses their thirst oft-times slakes, Ad beasts of the mountains thereof drink their fills.
[verse 12] By these pleasant springs of fountains full fair, The fowls of the air abide shall and dwell: Who moved by nature to hop here and there, Among the green branches their songs shall excell.
[verse 13] The mountains to moist the clouds he doth use: The earth with his works is wholly replete. [verse 14] So as the brute cattel he doth not refuse: But grass doth provide them, and herb for mans meat.
[verse 15] Yea, bread, wine, and oyl, he made for mans sake, His face to refresh, and heart to make strong. [verse 16] The cedars of Liban this great Lord did make: Which trees he doth nourish that grow up so long:
[verse 17] In these may birds build and make there their nests: In fir-trees the storks remain and abide. [verse 18] The high hills are succours for wilde goats to rest: And eke the rock stony for conies to hide.
[verse 19] The moon then is set her seasons to run: The days from the nights thereby to discern. And by the descending also of the sun, The cold from heat alway thereby we do learn.
[verse 20] When darkness doth come by Gods will and power, Then creep forth do all the beasts of the wood. [verse 21] The lions range roaring their prey to devour: But yet it is thou, Lord, which givest them food.
[verse 22] As soon as the sun is up, they retire: To couch in their dens then are they full fain: [verse 23] That man to his work may, as right doth require, Till night come and call him to take rest again.
