Psalm 104:10-14
New English Translation
Psalm 104:10-14
New English Translation
10 He turns springs into streams;[a]
they flow between the mountains.
11 They provide water for all the animals in the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky live beside them;
they chirp among the bushes.[b]
13 He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace;[c]
the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.[d]
14 He provides grass[e] for the cattle,
and crops for people to cultivate,[f]
so they can produce food from the ground,[g]
Footnotes
- Psalm 104:10 tn Heb “[the] one who sends springs into streams.” Another option is to translate, “he sends streams [i.e., streams that originate from springs] into the valleys” (cf. NIV).
- Psalm 104:12 tn Heb “among the thick foliage they give a sound.”
- Psalm 104:13 tn Heb “from his upper rooms.”
- Psalm 104:13 tn Heb “from the fruit of your works the earth is full.” The translation assumes that “fruit” is literal here. If “fruit” is understood more abstractly as “product; result,” then one could translate, “the earth flourishes as a result of your deeds” (cf. NIV, NRSV, REB).
- Psalm 104:14 tn Heb “causes the grass to sprout up.”
- Psalm 104:14 tn Heb “for the service of man” (see Gen 2:5).
- Psalm 104:14 tn Heb “to cause food to come out from the earth.”
