Psalms 104:25-26

104:25 Over here is the deep, wide sea, ¹ 

which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, ² 

living things both small and large.

104:26 The ships travel there,

and over here swims the whale ³  you made to play in it.

[104:25]  ¹ tn Heb “this [is] the sea, great and broad of hands [i.e., “sides” or “shores”].”

[104:25]  ² tn Heb “where [there are] swimming things, and without number.”

[104:26]  ³ tn Heb “[and] this Leviathan, [which] you formed to play in it.” Elsewhere Leviathan is a multiheaded sea monster that symbolizes forces hostile to God (see Ps 74:14; Isa 27:1), but here it appears to be an actual marine creature created by God, probably some type of whale.
