10 Into the valleys He sends forth‖Waters that flow from springs; ‖ which do among the mountains take ‖ their never-ceasing walk ‖
11 They do bestow their drink on all ‖ the beasts that range the field; ‖ There the will asses, tho' so wild‖and stupid, quench their thirst‖
12 By these the fowls of Heaven have‖their habitation made; ‖ among the branches here they do ‖ give a melodious voice. ‖
13 He from His chambers doth distil ‖ waters upon the hills; ‖ from the fruit of thy works the Earth ‖ is fully satisfied. ‖
