Psalm 104:19-26

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ You created the moon
    to tell us the seasons.
The sun knows when to set,
²⁰     and you made the darkness,
so the animals in the forest
    could come out at night.
²¹ Lions roar as they hunt
    for the food you provide.
²² But when morning comes,
    they return to their dens,
²³ then we go out to work
    until the end of day.

²⁴ Our Lord, by your wisdom
    you made so many things;
the whole earth is covered
    with your living creatures.
²⁵ But what about the ocean
    so big and wide?
It is alive with creatures,
    large and small.
^26 (A) And there are the ships,
    as well as Leviathan,^[a]
the monster you created
    to splash in the sea.
