Psalms 103:17-29 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

17. there the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.

18. The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.

19. He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20. Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:

21. The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.

22. The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.

23. Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.

24. How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.

25. So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.

26. There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.

27. All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.

28. What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.

29. But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
