25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,

teeming with creatures beyond number—

living things both large and small.

26 There the ships go to and fro,

and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

27 All creatures look to you

to give them their food at the proper time.

28 When you give it to them,

they gather it up;

when you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

29 When you hide your face,

they are terrified;

when you take away their breath,

they die and return to the dust.

30 When you send your Spirit,

they are created,

and you renew the face of the ground.

25 So is this great and wide sea,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships:

There is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee;

That thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

28 That thou givest them they gather:

Thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:

Thou takest away their breath, they die,

And return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:

And thou renewest the face of the earth.

25 Here is the ocean, vast and wide,

teeming with life of every kind,

both large and small.

26 See the ships sailing along,

and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.

27 They all depend on you

to give them food as they need it.

28 When you supply it, they gather it.

You open your hand to feed them,

and they are richly satisfied.

29 But if you turn away from them, they panic.

When you take away their breath,

they die and turn again to dust.

30 When you give them your breath, life is created,

and you renew the face of the earth.

25 This great and wide sea,

In which are innumerable teeming things,

Living things both small and great.

26 There the ships sail about;

There is that Leviathan

Which You have made to play there.

27 These all wait for You,

That You may give them their food in due season.

28 What You give them they gather in;

You open Your hand, they are filled with good.

29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;

You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;

And You renew the face of the earth.

25 Look at the sea, so big and wide,

with creatures large and small that cannot be counted.

26 Ships travel over the ocean,

and there is the sea monster Leviathan,

which you made to play there.

27 All these things depend on you

to give them their food at the right time.

28 When you give it to them,

they gather it up.

When you open your hand,

they are filled with good food.

29 When you turn away from them,

they become frightened.

When you take away their breath,

they die and turn to dust.

30 When you breathe on them,

they are created,

and you make the land new again.

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships;

There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

27 These wait all for thee,

That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather;

Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;

Thou takest away their breath, they die,

And return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created;

And thou renewest the face of the ground.

25 Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great. 26 There go the ships; there that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein. 27 These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season: 28 That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good. 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust. 30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.

25 The sea is so big and wide with countless creatures, 

living things both large and small. 

26 Ships sail on it, 

and Leviathan,which you made, plays in it. 

27 All of them look to you to give them their food at the right time. 

28 You give it to them, and they gather it up. 

You open your hand, and they are filled with blessings. 

29 You hide your face, and they are terrified. 

You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust. 

30 You send out your Spirit, and they are created. 

You renew the face of the earth. 

25 Here is the sea, vast and wide,

teeming with creatures beyond number—

living things both large and small.

26 There the ships move about,

and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.

27 All of them wait for You

to give them their food at the right time.

28 When You give it to them,

they gather it;

when You open Your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

29 When You hide Your face,

they are terrified;

when You take away their breath,

they die and return to the dust.

30 When You send Your breath,

they are created,

and You renew the face of the earth.

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

creeping things innumerable are there,

living things both small and great.

26 There go the ships,

and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.

27 These all look to you

to give them their food in due season;

28 when you give to them, they gather it up;

when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed;

when you take away their breath, they die

and return to their dust.

30 When you send forth your spirit, they are created;

and you renew the face of the ground.

25 This is the great and wide sea,

in which are moving animals without number,

living things small and great.

26 There the ships sail.

Leviathan is there that you formed to play with.

27 They all wait for you

to give them their food at the proper time.

28 You give to them; they gather it.

You open your hand, they are filled with what is good.

29 You hide your face, they are terrified.

You take away their breath, they die

and return to their dust.

30 You send forth your Spirit, they are created,

and you renew the face of the ground.

25 Look at the ocean, so big and wide!

It is filled with more creatures than people can count.

It is filled with living things, from the largest to the smallest.

26 Ships sail back and forth on it.

The leviathan, the sea monster you made, plays in it.

27 All of those creatures depend on you

to give them their food when they need it.

28 When you give it to them,

they eat it.

When you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

29 When you turn your face away from them,

they are terrified.

When you take away their breath,

they die and turn back into dust.

30 When you send your Spirit,

you create them.

You give new life to the earth.

25 There is the sea, great and broad,

In which are swarms without number,

Animals both small and great.

26 There the ships move along,

And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

27 They all wait for You

To give them their food in due season.

28 You give to them, they gather it up;

You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

29 You hide Your face, they are dismayed;

You take away their spirit, they expire

And return to their dust.

30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;

And You renew the face of the ground.
