20. Thou darkness mak'st, 'tis night, then beastsof forests creep abroad.
21. The lions young roar for their prey,and seek their meat from God.
22. The sun doth rise, and home they flock,down in their dens they lie.
23. Man goes to work, his labour hedoth to the ev'ning ply.
24. How manifold, Lord, are thy works!in wisdom wonderfulThou ev'ry one of them hast made;earth's of thy riches full:
25. So is this great and spacious sea,wherein things creeping are,Which number'd cannot be; and beastsboth great and small are there.
26. There ships go; there thou mak'st to playthat leviathan great.
27. These all wait on thee, that thou may'stin due time give them meat.
28. That which thou givest unto themthey gather for their food;Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally,they filled are with good.
29. Thou hid'st thy face; they troubled are,their breath thou tak'st away;Then do they die, and to their dustreturn again do they.
