Psalms 104:16-35

Psalms 104:16-35 NCV

The LORD’s trees have plenty of water; they are the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted. The birds make their nests there; the stork’s home is in the fir trees. The high mountains belong to the wild goats. The rocks are hiding places for the badgers. You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun always knows when to set. You make it dark, and it becomes night. Then all the wild animals creep around. The lions roar as they attack. They look to God for food. When the sun rises, they leave and go back to their dens to lie down. Then people go to work and work until evening. LORD, you have made many things; with your wisdom you made them all. The earth is full of your riches. Look at the sea, so big and wide, with creatures large and small that cannot be counted. Ships travel over the ocean, and there is the sea monster Leviathan, which you made to play there. All these things depend on you to give them their food at the right time. When you give it to them, they gather it up. When you open your hand, they are filled with good food. When you turn away from them, they become frightened. When you take away their breath, they die and turn to dust. When you breathe on them, they are created, and you make the land new again. May the glory of the LORD be forever. May the LORD enjoy what he has made. He just looks at the earth, and it shakes. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I live. May my thoughts please him; I am happy in the LORD. Let sinners be destroyed from the earth, and let the wicked live no longer. My whole being, praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
