104:29 When you ignore them, they panic. 1
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! 2
May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made! 3
104:32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes;
he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.
1 tn Heb “you hide your face, they are terrified.”
