verse 16 Jehovahs trees that are most strong no fill of sap do want; The cedar-trees of Lebanon, the which himself doth plant. verse 17 That so the little birds may there upon them build their nest: As for the Stork, the fir-trees are the places of her rest.
verse 18 The hills for wild-goats refuge be, the conies rocks enclose: verse 19 The moon for seasons made hath he, the Sun his setting knows. verse 20 Thou darkness makest, & night comes on when wood-beasts creep out all. ⟨p. 257⟩verse 21 Roar for their prey do lions young, from God for food they call.
