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.
104:25 Over here is the deep, wide sea, 3
which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, 4
living things both small and large.
104:26 The ships travel there,
and over here swims the whale 5 you made to play in it.
104:27 All of your creatures 6 wait for you
to provide them with food on a regular basis. 7
104:28 You give food to them and they receive it;
you open your hand and they are filled with food. 8
104:29 When you ignore them, they panic. 9
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! 10
May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made! 11
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! 12
104:34 May my thoughts 13 be pleasing to him!
I will rejoice in the Lord.
104:35 May sinners disappear 14 from the earth,
and the wicked vanish!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!
