Psalm 104:18-35
New Living Translation
Psalm 104:18-35
New Living Translation
18 High in the mountains live the wild goats,
and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.[a]
19 You made the moon to mark the seasons,
and the sun knows when to set.
20 You send the darkness, and it becomes night,
when all the forest animals prowl about.
21 Then the young lions roar for their prey,
stalking the food provided by God.
22 At dawn they slink back
into their dens to rest.
23 Then people go off to their work,
where they labor until evening.
24 O Lord, what a variety of things you have made!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the ocean, vast and wide,
teeming with life of every kind,
both large and small.
26 See the ships sailing along,
and Leviathan,[b] which you made to play in the sea.
27 They all depend on you
to give them food as they need it.
28 When you supply it, they gather it.
You open your hand to feed them,
and they are richly satisfied.
29 But if you turn away from them, they panic.
When you take away their breath,
they die and turn again to dust.
30 When you give them your breath,[c] life is created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the Lord continue forever!
The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!
32 The earth trembles at his glance;
the mountains smoke at his touch.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
I will praise my God to my last breath!
34 May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth;
let the wicked disappear forever.
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord!

New International Version
Psalm 104:18-35
New International Version
19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,(C)
and the sun(D) knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness,(E) it becomes night,(F)
and all the beasts of the forest(G) prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey(H)
and seek their food from God.(I)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.(J)
23 Then people go out to their work,(K)
to their labor until evening.(L)
24 How many are your works,(M) Lord!
In wisdom you made(N) them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.(O)
25 There is the sea,(P) vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.(Q)
26 There the ships(R) go to and fro,
and Leviathan,(S) which you formed to frolic(T) there.(U)
27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food(V) at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied(W) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(X)
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(Y)
30 When you send your Spirit,(Z)
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord(AA) endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works(AB)—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,(AC)
who touches the mountains,(AD) and they smoke.(AE)
33 I will sing(AF) 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(AG) in the Lord.
35 But may sinners vanish(AH) from the earth
and the wicked be no more.(AI)
Praise the Lord, my soul.
