Psalms 104:19 Context
17Where the birds make their nests: as for the Storke, the firre trees are her house. 18The hie hilles are a refuge for the wilde goates: and the rockes for the conies. 19He appointed the moone for seasons; the sunne knoweth his going downe. 20Thou makest darknesse, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forrest doe creepe forth. 21The young lyons roare after their pray: and seeke their meate from God.
