8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the| valleys beneath: even unto the place which thou hast appointed | for | them.

9 Thou hast set them their bounds which they | shall not pass neither turn a gain to cover the | earth.

10 He sendeth the springs | into the rivers: which | run among the | hills.

II All beasts of the field drink there | of: and the wild asses quench their | thirst.

12 Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their | habitation and sing a | mong the | branch | es.

14 He bringeth forth grass | for the | cattle and green herb for the service of men :

15 That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man: and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen man's heart.

16 The trees of the Lord also are | full of sap: even the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted; 17 Wherein the birds | make their trees are a dwelling for the | stork.

20 Thou makest darkness that it may be | night: wherein all the | beasts of the | forest do | move.

21 The lions roaring | after their prey: do | seek their | meat from God.

22 The sun ariseth, and they get them a way to | gether and lay them | down | in their | dens.

23 Man goeth forth to his work, and to his | labour: until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold | are thy | works: in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy | rich | es. 25 So is the great and | wide sea also: wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and | great | beasts.

30 When thou lettest thy breath go forth they | shall be made and thou shalt renew the face of the | earth. 31 The glorious Majesty of the Lord shall en | dure for | ever: the Lord shall re | joice | in his | works.

7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments | are in | all the world.

8 He hath been alway mindful of his covenant and | pro | mise that he made to a thousand gene | ra | tions;

21 He made him lord also | of his house and ruler of all his substance;

22 That he might inform his princes | after his | will: and teach his senators | wisdom.

23 Israel also came into | Egypt and Jacob was a stranger in the | land of | Ham.

24 And he increased his people exceeding | ly : and made them stronger than their enemies;

25 Whose heart turned so, that they | hated his | people: and dealt untruly | with his | ser | vants.

26 Then sent he Moses his | ser | vant and Aaron | whom he had chosen.
