25There is the ocean, large and wide,

where countless creatures live,

large and small alike.

26*The ships sail on it, and in it plays Leviathan,

that sea monster which you made.i

27All of them depend on you

to give them food when they need it.

28You give it to them, and they eat it;

you provide food, and they are satisfied.

they gather it up;

when you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

When you supply it, they gather it.

You open your hand to feed them,

and they are richly satisfied.

This is the great and wide sea,

in which are moving animals without number,

living things small and great.

There the ships sail.

You give to them; they gather it.

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

KJV 1900King James Version

So is this great and wide sea,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

There go the ships:

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

These wait all upon thee;

That thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

That thou givest them they gather:

Thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
