38:41 Who prepares prey for the raven,
when its young cry out to God
and wander about 1 for lack of food?
104:21 The lions roar for prey,
seeking their food from God. 2
145:15 Everything looks to you in anticipation, 3
and you provide them with food on a regular basis. 4
147:9 He gives food to the animals,
and to the young ravens when they chirp. 5
1 tn The verse is difficult, making some suspect that a line has dropped out. The little birds in the nest hardly go wandering about looking for food. Dhorme suggest “and stagger for lack of food.”
2 sn The lions’ roaring is viewed as a request for food from God.
3 tn Heb “the eyes of all wait for you.”
4 tn Heb “and you give to them their food in its season” (see Ps 104:27).
5 tn Heb “which cry out.”
