Psalms 104:17
15 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,
where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.
19 He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
