Psalm 104:24–34

²⁴Lord, you have made so many things!

How wise you were when you made all of them!

The earth is full of your creatures.

²⁵Look 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.

²⁶Ships sail back and forth on it.

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

²⁷All of those creatures depend on you

to give them their food when they need it.

²⁸When you give it to them,

they eat it.

When you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

²⁹When you turn your face away from them,

they are terrified.

When you take away their breath,

they die and turn back into dust.

³⁰When you send your Spirit,

you create them.

You give new life to the earth.

³¹May the glory of the Lord continue forever.

May the Lord be happy with what he has made.

³²When he looks at the earth, it trembles.

When he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke.

³³I will sing to the Lord all my life.

I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

³⁴May these thoughts of mine please him.

I find my joy in the Lord.
