¹² The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

¹⁰ Wild animals and all cattle; Small creatures and flying birds;

¹¹ I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

³ Yes, the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, Near your altars, Yahweh of Hosts, my King, and my God.

¹⁶ Yahweh's trees are well watered, The cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

¹⁷ Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

⁹ He provides food for the cattle, And for the young ravens when they call.

²⁶ See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?

²⁰ Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
