Psalms 104:15
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:
wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
16 The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,
17 where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
