12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.
12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.
12 Along the riverbanks the birds build nests, ravens make their voices heard.
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home; They sing among the branches.
12 The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 104:12
Commentary on Psalm 104:10-18
(Read Psalm 104:10-18)
When we reflect upon the provision made for all creatures, we should also notice the natural worship they render to God. Yet man, forgetful ungrateful man, enjoys the largest measure of his Creator's kindness. the earth, varying in different lands. Nor let us forget spiritual blessings; the fruitfulness of the church through grace, the bread of everlasting life, the cup of salvation, and the oil of gladness. Does God provide for the inferior creatures, and will he not be a refuge to his people?
