16 The Trees of God are full of Sap, The [stately] Cedars which do stand In Lebanon, and planted were [Even] by his [own] Almighty hand.
17 The beauteous Birds among these Trees▪ By [Nature's] skill their Nests do make, As for the Stork, the Fir-trees she Doth for her [lofty] dwelling take.

18 The Mountains high for the wild Goats, A place of [secure] refuge be, The Conies in the craggy Rocks Dwell, and for safety [thither] flee.
19 The changing Moon he doth appoint, The Seasons change [to Man] to show The glorious Sun, as taught by God, Its time to [rise and] set doth know.
