  1. Psalm 104:30 born, literally, “created.”

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.
