' ' He maketh the herb for the cattle, 

 And the fruit tree for mankind ; 

 He giveth life to the fish in the river 

 And to the bird under heaven ; 

 He giveth life to the being in the egg, 

 And preserves the son of the worm ; 

 He created that whereon the fly lives, 

 The worm, and the fleas, as many as there are ; 

 He creates what the mice need in their holes, 

 And preserves the birds on all the trees. ' '
