Context of Psalms 104:31
29But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust. 30When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord continue forever! The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made! 32The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch. 33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath!
