Salmos 104:14

14 El que hace producir el heno para las bestias, y la hierba para el servicio del hombre; sacando el pan de la tierra

Salmos 104:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 104:14

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle
By means of rain falling upon the tender herb, and upon the mown grass, whereby provision of food is made for those creatures that live upon grass.

And herb for the service of man:
some herbs being for physic for him, and others for food, and all more or less for his use. Herbs were the original food of man, ( Genesis 1:29 ) and still a dinner of herbs, where love is, is better than a stalled ox, and hatred therewith, ( Proverbs 15:17 ) . Some render it, "and herb at the tillage of man" F15: grass grows of itself for the use of the cattle; but the herb, as wheat and the like, which is for the use of man, is caused to grow when man has taken some pains with the earth, and has tilled and manured it: but the former sense seems best.

That he may bring forth food out of the earth;
either that man may do it by his tillage; or rather that the Lord may do it, by sending rain, and causing the grass and herbs to grow. However, man's food, as well as the food of beasts, comes out of the earth, as he himself does, and to which he must return.

Salmos 104:14 In-Context

12 Junto a aquellos habitan las aves de los cielos; entre las hojas dan voces
13 El que riega los montes desde sus aposentos; del fruto de sus obras se sacia la tierra
14 El que hace producir el heno para las bestias, y la hierba para el servicio del hombre; sacando el pan de la tierra
15 Y el vino que alegra el corazón del hombre; haciendo relumbrar el rostro con el aceite, y el pan que sustenta el corazón del hombre
16 Se sacian los árboles del SEÑOR, los cedros del Líbano que él plantó
