Psalms 104:21-29

21The 1young lions roar after their prey 2And 3seek their food from God.22When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their 4dens.23Man goes forth to 5his work And to his labor until evening.

24O Lord, how 6many are Your works! 7In 8wisdom You have made them all; The 9earth is full of Your 10possessions.25 11There is the 12sea, great and 13broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great.26There the 14ships move along, And 15 16Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

27They all 17wait for You To 18give them their food in 19due season.28You give to them, they gather it up; You 20open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.29You 21hide Your face, they are dismayed; You 22take away their 23spirit, they expire And 24return to their dust.
