Texts -- Psalms 104:22-35 (NET)

Context
104:22 When the sun rises , they withdraw and sleep in their dens . 104:23 Men then go out to do their work , and labor away until evening . 104:24 How many living things you have made, O Lord ! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made. 104:25 Over here is the deep , wide sea , which teems with innumerable swimming creatures , living things both small and large . 104:26 The ships travel there , and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. 104:27 All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis . 104:28 You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food . 104:29 When you ignore them, they panic . When you take away their life’s breath , they die and return to dust . 104:30 When you send your life-giving breath , they are created , and you replenish the surface of the ground . 104:31 May the splendor of the Lord endure ! May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made ! 104:32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes ; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder . 104:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live ; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist ! 104:34 May my thoughts be pleasing to him! I will rejoice in the Lord . 104:35 May sinners disappear from the earth , and the wicked vanish ! Praise the Lord , O my soul ! Praise the Lord !
