How beautiful the psalmist's description of God's care for the creatures of the woods-- "The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; And the rocks for the conies." Psalm 104:18. He sends the springs to run among the hills, where the birds have their habitation, and "sing among the branches." Psalm 104:12. All the creatures of the woods and hills are a part of His great household. He opens His hand, and satisfies "the desire of every living thing." Psalm 145:16.

Hvor smuk er ikke salmistens beskrivelse af Guds omsorg for skovens dyr:»Højfjeldet er for stenbukken, klipperne grævlingens tilflugt.« Sl. 104,18.
