Psalms 104:21-29

21The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.

22The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.

23Then people go out to their work, to their labor until evening.

24How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

25There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small.

26There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

27All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.

28When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

29When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.
