Psalms 104:27

Compare all

25 This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.

26 There the ships sail about;
There is that ^aLeviathan
Which You have¹ made to play there.

27 ^aThese all wait for You,
That You may give them their food in due season.

28 What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.

29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;
^aYou take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

30 ^aYou send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.

31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
May the Lord ^arejoice in His works.

32 He looks on the earth, and it ^atrembles;
^bHe touches the hills, and they smoke.

Psalms 104:27-30

The entire dependence of this immense family on God is set forth. With Him, to kill or make alive is equally easy. To hide His face is to withdraw favor (Psalms 13:1). By His spirit, or breath, or mere word, He gives life. It is His constant providence which repairs the wastes of time and disease.
