Psalm 104:28-30
The Message
24-30 What a wildly wonderful world, God!
You made it all, with Wisdom at your side,
made earth overflow with your wonderful creations.
Oh, look—the deep, wide sea,
brimming with fish past counting,
sardines and sharks and salmon.
Ships plow those waters,
and Leviathan, your pet dragon, romps in them.
All the creatures look expectantly to you
to give them their meals on time.
You come, and they gather around;
you open your hand and they eat from it.
If you turned your back,
they’d die in a minute—
Take back your Spirit and they die,
revert to original mud;
Send out your Spirit and they spring to life—
the whole countryside in bloom and blossom.
Psalm 104:28-30
New International Version
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied(A) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(B)
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(C)
30 When you send your Spirit,(D)
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
