Context of Psalms 104:31
29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath they die, and return to their dust. 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground. Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works: 32Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. 33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
