Psalm 104:25-35
Contemporary English Version
Psalm 104:25-35
Contemporary English Version
25 But 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.
27 All of these depend on you
to provide them with food,
28 and you feed each one
with your own hand,
until they are full.
29 But when you turn away,
they are terrified;
when you end their life,
they die and rot.
30 You created all of them
by your Spirit,
and you give new life
to the earth.
31 Our Lord, we pray
that your glory
will last forever
and that you will be pleased
with what you have done.
32 You look at the earth,
and it trembles.
You touch the mountains,
and smoke goes up.
33 As long as I live,
I will sing and praise you,
the Lord God.
34 I hope my thoughts
will please you,
because you are the one
who makes me glad.
35 Destroy all wicked sinners
from the earth
once and for all.
With all my heart
I praise you, Lord!
I praise you!

Psalm 104:25-35
New International Version
Psalm 104:25-35
New International Version
25 There is the sea,(A) vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.(B)
26 There the ships(C) go to and fro,
and Leviathan,(D) which you formed to frolic(E) there.(F)
27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food(G) at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied(H) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(I)
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(J)
30 When you send your Spirit,(K)
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord(L) endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works(M)—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,(N)
who touches the mountains,(O) and they smoke.(P)
33 I will sing(Q) to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice(R) in the Lord.
35 But may sinners vanish(S) from the earth
and the wicked be no more.(T)
Praise the Lord, my soul.

King James Version
Psalm 104:25-35
King James Version
25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.
