18. The high mountains belong to the wild goats. The cliffs are a safe place for the rock badgers.
19. The moon serves to mark off the seasons. The sun knows when to go down.
20. You bring darkness, and it becomes night. Then all the animals of the forest prowl around.
21. The lions roar while they hunt. All of their food comes from God.
22. The sun rises, and they slip away. They return to their dens and lie down.
23. Then a man gets up and goes to work. He keeps working until evening.
24. Lord, you have made so many things! How wise you were when you made all of them! The earth is full of your creatures.
25. Look at the ocean, so big and wide! It is filled with more creatures than people can count. It is filled with living things, from the largest to the smallest.
26. Ships sail back and forth on it. The leviathan, the sea monster you made, plays in it.
27. All of those creatures depend on you to give them their food when they need it.
28. When you give it to them, they eat it. When you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29. When you turn your face away from them, they are terrified. When you take away their breath, they die and turn back into dust.
30. When you send your Spirit, you create them. You give new life to the earth.
31. May the glory of the Lord continue forever. May the Lord be happy with what he has made.
32. When he looks at the earth, it trembles. When he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke.
33. I will sing to the Lord all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
