²⁴ Lord, you have done so many things!
    You made them all so wisely!
The earth is full of your creations!
²⁵ And then there’s the sea, wide and deep,
    with its countless creatures—
    living things both small and large.
²⁶ There go the ships on it,
    and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it!
²⁷ All your creations wait for you
    to give them their food on time.
²⁸ When you give it to them, they gather it up;
    when you open your hand, they are filled completely full!
²⁹ But when you hide your face, they are terrified;
    when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to dust.
³⁰ When you let loose your breath, they are created,
    and you make the surface of the ground brand-new again.

³¹ Let the Lord’s glory last forever!
    Let the Lord rejoice in all he has made!
³² He has only to look at the earth, and it shakes.
    God just touches the mountains, and they erupt in smoke.

³³ I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
    I will sing praises to my God while I’m still alive.
³⁴ Let my praise be pleasing to him;
    I’m rejoicing in the Lord!
³⁵ Let sinners be wiped clean from the earth;
    let the wicked be no more.
But let my whole being bless the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
