Day 115 – Psalm 104

“The trees of the LORD…” Psalm 104:16a

FOCUS ON TREES

The psalmist now shifts his focus to trees and hills. This focus is also an appreciation of God’s power in creation.

“The trees of the LORD are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
The high hills are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.”
Psalm 104:16-18
