Psalm 104:25-35

Contemporary English Version

²⁵But what about the ocean
    so big and wide?
It is alive with creatures,
    large and small.
²⁶^(A) And there are the ships,
    as well as Leviathan,^[a]
the monster you created
    to splash in the sea.

²⁷All of these depend on you
    to provide them with food,
²⁸and you feed each one
with your own hand,
    until they are full.
²⁹But when you turn away,
    they are terrified;
when you end their life,
    they die and rot.
³⁰You created all of them
    by your Spirit,
and you give new life
    to the earth.

³¹Our Lord, we pray
that your glory
    will last forever
and that you will be pleased
    with what you have done.
³²You look at the earth,
    and it trembles.
You touch the mountains,
    and smoke goes up.
³³As long as I live,
I will sing and praise you,
    the Lord God.
³⁴I hope my thoughts
    will please you,
because you are the one
    who makes me glad.
