Psalm 104:28-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
28 When you give it to them, they gather;
when you open your hand, they are well filled.
29 [a]When you hide your face, they panic.
Take away their breath, they perish
and return to the dust.(A)
30 Send forth your spirit, they are created
and you renew the face of the earth.
