Contextual Overview

¹⁰ You make springs pour into the ravines; they flow between the mountains. ¹¹ They water all the wild animals; the wild donkeys come there to drink. ¹² Wild birds make nests by the water; they sing among the tree branches. ¹³ You water the mountains from above. The earth is full of the things you made. ¹⁴ You make the grass for cattle and vegetables for the people. You make food grow from the earth. ¹⁵ You give us wine that makes happy hearts and olive oil that makes our faces shine. You give us bread that gives us strength. ¹⁶ The Lord 's trees have plenty of water; they are the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted. ¹⁷ The birds make their nests there; the stork's home is in the fir trees. ¹⁸ The high mountains belong to the wild goats.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,.... Another use of the springs, fountains, and rivers of water; by the sides and on the shores of these, some birds delight to be, and on trees that grow here do they build their nests; and here, having wetted their throats, they sit, and chirp, and sing: to doves, by rivers of water, is the allusion in Song of Solomon 5:12.

Which sing among the branches; of trees that grow by the sides of fountains and rivers; see Ezekiel 17:23. To such birds may saints be compared; being, like them, weak, defenceless, and timorous; liable to be taken in snares, and sometimes wonderfully delivered; as well as given to wanderings and strayings: and to fowls of the heaven, being heaven born souls, and partakers of the heavenly calling. These have their habitation by the fountain of Jacob, by the river of divine love, beside the still waters of the sanctuary; where they sing the songs of Zion, the songs of electing, redeeming, and calling grace.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation - Among them the fowls of the air dwell. That is, among the trees which spring up by the fountains and water-courses. The whole picture is full of animation and beauty.

Which sing among the branches - Margin, as in Hebrew, “give a voice.” Their voice is heard - their sweet music - in the foliage of the trees which grow on the margin of the streams and by the fountains. There is scarcely to be found a more beautiful poetic image than this.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 104:12. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation — All fowls love verdure, and have their residence where they can find wood and water.
