Context of Psalms 104:31
29You hide your face, and they are terrified. You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust. 30You send out your Spirit, and they are created. You renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure forever. May the Lord find joy in what he has made. 32He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33I will sing to the Lord throughout my life. I will make music to praise my God as long as I live.
