Psalms 104:24

104:24 How many living things you have made, O Lord! ¹ 

You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; ² 

the earth is full of the living things you have made.

Psalms 144:13

144:13 Our storehouses ³  will be full,

providing all kinds of food. ⁴ 

Our sheep will multiply by the thousands

and fill ⁵  our pastures. ⁶ 

[104:24]  ¹ tn Heb “How many [are] your works, O Lord.” In this case the Lord’s “works” are the creatures he has made, as the preceding and following contexts make clear.

[104:24]  ² tn Heb “all of them with wisdom you have made.”

[144:13]  ³ tn The Hebrew noun occurs only here.

[144:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “from kind to kind.” Some prefer to emend the text to מָזוֹן עַל מָזוֹן (mazon ’al mazon, “food upon food”).

[144:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “they are innumerable.”

[144:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “in outside places.” Here the term refers to pastures and fields (see Job 5:10; Prov 8:26).
