Ab increpatione tua fugient; a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt. Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi, in locum quem fundasti eis. Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram. Qui emittis fontes in convallibus; inter medium montium pertransibunt aquae. Potabunt omnes bestiae agri; expectabunt onagri in siti sua. Super ea volucres caeli habitabunt;
