12 The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches.
13 He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
14 He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:
15 wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
