8 ¹They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them. ‡

9 You have ^aset a boundary that they may not pass over,
^bThat they may not return to cover the earth. ‡

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
