Psalms 104:14 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 104:14

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

13 ^aHe waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with ^bthe fruit of Your works.

14 ^aHe causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth ^bfood from the earth,

15 And ^awine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face shine,
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.

16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,

17 Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
