Psalms 104:9 Context
7At thy rebuke they fled: at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8They go vp by the mountaines: they goe downe by the valleys vnto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9Thou hast set a bound that they may not passe ouer: that they turne not againe to couer the earth. 10He sendeth the springs into the valleys: which runne among the hilles. 11They giue drinke to euery beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
