Psalm 104:24–34

How many are your works, Lord!

In wisdom you made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

There is the sea, vast and spacious,

teeming with creatures beyond number—

living things both large and small.

There the ships go to and fro,

and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

All creatures look to you

to give them their food at the proper time.

When you give it to them,

they gather it up;

when you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

When you hide your face,

they are terrified;

when you take away their breath,

they die and return to the dust.

When you send your Spirit,

they are created,

and you renew the face of the ground.

May the glory of the Lord endure forever;

may the Lord rejoice in his works—

he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,

who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

I will sing to the Lord all my life;

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

May my meditation be pleasing to him,

as I rejoice in the Lord.

How countless are your works, Lord!

In wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

Here is the sea, vast and wide,

teeming with creatures beyond number—

living things both large and small.

There the ships move about,

and Leviathan, which you formed to play there.

All of them wait for you

to give them their food at the right time.

When you give it to them,

they gather it;

when you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

When you hide your face,

they are terrified;

when you take away their breath,

they die and return to the dust.

When you send your breath,

they are created,

and you renew the surface of the ground.

May the glory of the Lord endure forever;

may the Lord rejoice in his works.

He looks at the earth, and it trembles;

he touches the mountains,

and they pour out smoke.

I will sing to the Lord all my life;

I will sing praise to my God while I live.

May my meditation be pleasing to him;

I will rejoice in the Lord.

O Lord, what a variety of things you have made!

In wisdom you have made them all.

The earth is full of your creatures.

Here is the ocean, vast and wide,

teeming with life of every kind,

both large and small.

See the ships sailing along,

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

They all depend on you

to give them food as they need it.

When you supply it, they gather it.

You open your hand to feed them,

and they are richly satisfied.

But if you turn away from them, they panic.

When you take away their breath,

they die and turn again to dust.

When you give them your breath, life is created,

and you renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord continue forever!

The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!

The earth trembles at his glance;

the mountains smoke at his touch.

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.

I will praise my God to my last breath!

May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,

for I rejoice in the Lord.

How many are your works, O Yahweh;

all of them you have done in wisdom.

The earth is full of your creatures.

This is the great and wide sea,

in which are moving animals without number,

living things small and great.

There the ships sail.

Leviathan is there that you formed to play with.

They all wait for you

to give them their food at the proper time.

You give to them; they gather it.

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

You hide your face, they are terrified.

You take away their breath, they die

and return to their dust.

You send forth your Spirit, they are created,

and you renew the face of the ground.

May the glory of Yahweh endure forever.

May Yahweh be glad in his works,

the one who looks at the earth and it quakes,

and touches the mountains and they smoke.

I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life;

I will sing praise to my God while I remain alive.

May my meditation be pleasing to him.

I will be glad in Yahweh.

O Lord, how manifold are thy works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all:

The earth is full of thy riches.

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.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:

Thou takest away their breath, they die,

And return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:

And thou renewest the face of the earth.

The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever:

The Lord shall rejoice in his works.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:

He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live:

I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet:

I will be glad in the Lord.
