Context of Psalms 104:31
29You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die And return to their dust. 30You send out Your Spirit, they are created; You renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the Lord endure forever; May the Lord rejoice and be glad in His works— 32He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
