Psalm 104:24-34

New International Version

²⁴How many are your works,^(A) Lord!
    In wisdom you made^(B) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.^(C)
²⁵There is the sea,^(D) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.^(E)
²⁶There the ships^(F) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,^(G) which you formed to frolic^(H) there.^(I)

²⁷All creatures look to you
    to give them their food^(J) at the proper time.
²⁸When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied^(K) with good things.
²⁹When you hide your face,^(L)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.^(M)
³⁰When you send your Spirit,^(N)
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹May the glory of the Lord^(O) endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works^(P)—
³²he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,^(Q)
who touches the mountains,^(R) and they smoke.^(S)

³³I will sing^(T) to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
³⁴May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice^(U) in the Lord.

New International Version

²¹“I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them.^(A) ²²From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. ²³And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.^(B) ²⁴I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.^(C)

²⁵“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob^[a]^(D) and will have compassion^(E) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.^(F) ²⁶They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety^(G) in their land with no one to make them afraid.^(H) ²⁷When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.^(I) ²⁸Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them^(J) to their own land, not leaving any behind.^(K) ²⁹I will no longer hide my face^(L) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit^(M) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(N)”

²⁶In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit^(A) himself intercedes for us^(B) through wordless groans. ²⁷And he who searches our hearts^(C) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes^(D) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
