Psalms 104:21-29

21The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God.

22When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens.

23Men then go out to do their work, and labor away until evening.

24How many living things you have made, O Lord! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made.

25Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large.

26The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it.

27All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis.

28You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food.

29When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life’s breath, they die and return to dust.
