20. You send the darkness, and it becomes night,when all the forest animals prowl about.
21. Then the young lions roar for their prey,stalking the food provided by God.
22. At dawn they slink backinto their dens to rest.
23. Then people go off to their work,where they labor until evening.
24. O lord, what a variety of things you have made!In wisdom you have made them all.The earth is full of your creatures.
25. Here is the ocean, vast and wide,teeming with life of every kind,both large and small.
26. See the ships sailing along,and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.
27. They all depend on youto give them food as they need it.
28. When you supply it, they gather it.You open your hand to feed them,and they are richly satisfied.
29. But if you turn away from them, they panic.When you take away their breath,they die and turn again to dust.
30. When you give them your breath, life is created,and you renew the face of the earth.
