Psalm 104:24-34
Common English Bible
24 Lord, you have done so many things!
You made them all so wisely!
The earth is full of your creations!
25 And then there’s the sea, wide and deep,
with its countless creatures—
living things both small and large.
26 There go the ships on it,
and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it!
27 All your creations wait for you
to give them their food on time.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled completely full!
29 But when you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to dust.
30 When you let loose your breath, they are created,
and you make the surface of the ground brand-new again.
31 Let the Lord’s glory last forever!
Let the Lord rejoice in all he has made!
32 He has only to look at the earth, and it shakes.
God just touches the mountains, and they erupt in smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I’m still alive.
34 Let my praise be pleasing to him;
I’m rejoicing in the Lord!
Psalm 104:24-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.(A)
25 There 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.(B)
27 These all look to you
to give them their food in due season;(C)
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.(D)
30 When you send forth your spirit,[a] they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.(E)
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—(F)
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke.(G)
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.(H)
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
