Psalms 104:19-30

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

19He made the moon for the seasons;

The sun knows the place of its setting.

20You appoint darkness and it becomes night,

In which all the animals of the forest prowl about.

21The young lions roar for their prey

And seek their food from God.

22When the sun rises they withdraw,

And they lie down in their dens.

23A person goes out to his work

And to his labor until evening.

24Lord, how many are Your works!

In wisdom You have made them all;

The earth is full of Your possessions.

25There is the sea, great and broad,

In which are swarms without number,

Animals both small and great.

26The ships move along there,

And Leviathan, which You have formed to have fun in it.

27They all wait for You

To give them their food in due season.

28You give to them, they gather it up;

You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

29You hide Your face, they are terrified;

You take away their breath, they perish

And return to their dust.

30You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;

And You renew the face of the ground.
