Psalm 104:22 Context

◄ Psalm 104:22 ►

The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.

Context

22When the sun rises they withdraw
And lie down in their dens.

23Man goes forth to his work
And to his labor until evening.

24O LORD, how many are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all;
The earth is full of Your possessions.

25There is the sea, great and broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.

26There the ships move along,
And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

27They all wait for You
To give them their food in due season.

28You give to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

29You hide Your face, they are dismayed;
You take away their spirit, they expire
And return to their dust.

30You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.

31Let the glory of the LORD endure forever;
Let the LORD be glad in His works;

32He looks at the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34Let my meditation be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall be glad in the LORD.

35Let sinners be consumed from the earth
         And let the wicked be no more.
         Bless the LORD, O my soul.
         Praise the LORD!
