24. How many living things you have made, O Lord!You have exhibited great skill in making all of them;the earth is full of the living things you have made.
25. Over here is the deep, wide sea,which teems with innumerable swimming creatures,living things both small and large.
26. The ships travel there,and over here swims the whale you made to play in it.
27. All of your creatures wait for youto provide them with food on a regular basis.
28. You give food to them and they receive it;you open your hand and they are filled with food.
29. When you ignore them, they panic.When you take away their life’s breath, they dieand return to dust.
30. When you send your life-giving breath, they are created,and you replenish the surface of the ground.
31. May the splendor of the Lord endure!May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made!
32. He looks down on the earth and it shakes;he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.
33. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist!
34. May my thoughts be pleasing to him!I will rejoice in the Lord.
35. May sinners disappear from the earth,and the wicked vanish!Praise the Lord, O my soul!Praise the Lord!
