19. He made the moon for appointed times, the sun knows its going down.
20. You bring darkness, so it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21. The young lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God.
22. But when the sun rises, they gather and lie down in their dens.
23. Man goes out to his work, and to his labor until the evening.
24. Adonai, how countless are Your works! In wisdom You made them all— the earth is full of Your creatures.
25. There is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with gliding things innumerable, living creatures, both small and large.
26. There, ships go to and fro. Leviathan—You formed to frolic there.
27. They all look to You to give them their food at the right time.
28. When You give it to them, they gather it up. When You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29. But when You hide Your face— they are dismayed. You take away their breath— they perish, and return to their dust.
30. You send forth Your Ruach— they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
31. May the glory of Adonai endure forever! May Adonai rejoice in His works!
32. He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33. I will sing to Adonai as long as I live! I will sing praise to my God yet again!
34. Let my meditation be sweet to Him. I—I will rejoice in Adonai.
35. Let sinners vanish from the earth and let the wicked be no more. Bless Adonai, O my soul. Halleluyah!
