Psalm 104:20-29 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. You make darkness, and it is night,when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

21. The young lions roar for their prey,seeking their food from God.

22. When the sun rises, they steal awayand lie down in their dens.

23. Man goes out to his workand to his labor until the evening.

24. O Lord, how manifold are your works!In wisdom have you made them all;the earth is full of your creatures.

25. Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable,living things both small and great.

26. There go the ships,and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it.

27. These all look to you,to give them their food in due season.

28. When you give it to them, they gather it up;when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29. When you hide your face, they are dismayed;when you take away their breath, they dieand return to their dust.
