22. When the sun rises, they steal awayand settle down in their dens.
23. People go out to their work,to their labor till evening falls.
24. How varied are your works, Lord!In wisdom you have made them all;the earth is full of your creatures.
25. There is the sea, great and wide!It teems with countless beings,living things both large and small.
26. There ships ply their courseand Leviathan, whom you formed to play with.
27. All of these look to youto give them food in due time.
28. When you give it to them, they gather;when you open your hand, they are well filled.
29. When you hide your face, they panic.Take away their breath, they perishand return to the dust.
30. Send forth your spirit, they are createdand you renew the face of the earth.
31. May the glory of the Lord endure forever;may the Lord be glad in his works!
32. Who looks at the earth and it trembles,touches the mountains and they smoke!
33. I will sing to the Lord all my life;I will sing praise to my God while I live.
34. May my meditation be pleasing to him;I will rejoice in the Lord.
35. May sinners vanish from the earth,and the wicked be no more.Bless the Lord, my soul! Hallelujah!
