Psalm 104:27-29
New English Translation
27 All your creatures[a] wait for you
to provide them with food on a regular basis.[b]
28 You give food to them and they receive it;
you open your hand and they are filled with food.[c]
29 When you ignore them, they panic.[d]
When you take away their life’s breath,
they die and return to dust.
