Psalm 104:24-34

Expanded Bible

²⁴Lord, ·you have made many things;
    with your wisdom you made them all [Prov. 8:22–31].
    The earth is full of your ·riches [or creatures].
²⁵Look at the sea, so big and wide,
    with creatures large and small, ·creeping [swarming] things that cannot be counted.
²⁶Ships travel over the ocean,
    and there is Leviathan [^Ca sea monster and symbol of chaos; 74:14; Job 3:8; 41:1; Is. 27:1],
which you made to play there.

²⁷All these things ·depend [hope; wait] on you
    to give them their food at the right time.
²⁸When you give it to them,
    they gather it up.
When you open your hand,
    they are ·filled [satisfied] with good food.
²⁹When you ·turn away [^Lhide your face] from them,
    they ·become frightened [are terrified].
When you take away their breath,
    they ·die [expire] and turn to dust [Gen. 2:7; Eccl. 12:7].
³⁰When you ·breathe [^Lsend your breath/or Spirit] on them,
    they are created [Gen. 2:7],
and you make the land new again.

³¹May the glory of the Lord [^Chis manifest presence] be forever.
May the Lord ·enjoy [rejoice in] what he has made.
³²He just looks at the earth, and it ·shakes [trembles].
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will ·sing praises [make a psalm] to my God as long as I live.
³⁴May my ·thoughts [meditations] please him;
I ·am happy [will rejoice] in the Lord.
