Context of Psalms 104:31
29When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. 30When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works— 32he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
