I will only add to these words of Job a few verses taken here and there from the Psalms, which form a true anthem of our fellow-creatures of the earth and air:—
“Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying fowl, let them praise the name of the Lord.
He giveth to the beast his food and to the young ravens which cry.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys which run among the hills;
They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst.
By them shall the fowls of heaven have their habitation which sing among the branches:
The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He hath planted,
Where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
The great hills are a refuge for the wild goats and the rocks for the conies.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth;
