Mazmur 104:27-28

104:27 All of your creatures ¹  wait for you

to provide them with food on a regular basis. ² 

104:28 You give food to them and they receive it;

you open your hand and they are filled with food. ³ 

Mazmur 136:25

136:25 to the one who gives food to all living things, ⁴ 

for his loyal love endures.

[104:27]  ¹ tn Heb “All of them.” The pronoun “them” refers not just to the sea creatures mentioned in vv. 25-26, but to all living things (see v. 24). This has been specified in the translation as “all of your creatures” for clarity.

[104:27]  ² tn Heb “to give their food in its time.”

[104:28]  ³ tn Heb “they are satisfied [with] good.”

[136:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “to all flesh,” which can refer to all people (see Pss 65:2; 145:21) or more broadly to mankind and animals. Elsewhere the psalms view God as the provider for all living things (see Pss 104:27-28; 145:15).
