Psalms 104 — Context

There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.

All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.

They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.

If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.

If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.

Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:

At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.
