Ps 104, 13-14 You water the mountains from your palace

(Ps 104, 13-14) You water the mountains from your palace

[13] You water the mountains from your palace; by your labor the earth abounds. [14] You raise grass for the cattle and plants for our beasts of burden. You bring bread from the earth,

(CCC 288) Thus the revelation of creation is inseparable from the revelation and forging of the covenant of the one God with his People. Creation is revealed as the first step towards this covenant, the first and universal witness to God's all-powerful love (Cf. Gen 15:5; Jer 33:19-26). And so, the truth of creation is also expressed with growing vigour in the message of the prophets, the prayer of the psalms and the liturgy, and in the wisdom sayings of the Chosen People (Cf. Isa 44:24; Ps 104; Prov 8:22-31).
