Psalm 104:16-18

The trees of the LORD are well cared for--

    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

There the birds make their nests,

    and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.

High in the mountains live the wild goats,

    and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.

 

The trees of the LORD are well cared for--the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

Genesis 1:11-12  Then God said, "Let the land sprout with vegetation--every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came." And that is what happened. The land produced vegetation--all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.  (see all chapter 1)

Psalm 72:16  

May there be abundant grain throughout the land,

    flourishing even on the hilltops.

May fruit trees flourish like the trees of Lebanon,

    and may the people thrive like grass in a field.  (see all Psalm 72)

Psalm 92:12  

But the godly will flourish like palm trees

    and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.  (see all Psalm 92)

 

There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses. 

Leviticus 11:13 ... 19  "These are the birds that are detestable to you. You must never eat them: the griffon vulture, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, ... the stork, herons of all kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat."  

(see all chapter 11)

Psalm 104:12  

The birds nest beside the streams

    and sing among the branches of the trees.  (see verses 10-12)

 

High in the mountains live the wild goats, 

Deuteronomy 14:4-5  These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, and the mountain sheep."  (see verses 1-21)

Job 39:1  

"Do  you know when the wild goats give birth?

    Have you watched when deer are born in the wild?"  

    (see all chapters 38-39)

 

and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes. 

Leviticus 11:5  "The hyrax chews the cud but does not have split hooves, so it is unclean."  (see verses 1-8)

Proverbs 30:26  

Hyraxes--they aren't powerful,

    but they make their homes among the rocks.  (see verses 24-28)
