Psalms 104:28

Compare all

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 104:28

That thou givest them they gather - All creatures are formed with such and such digestive organs, and the food proper for them is provided. Infinitely varied as are living creatures in their habits and internal economy, so are the aliments which God has caused the air, the earth, and the waters to produce.

Thou openest thine hand - An allusion to the act of scattering grain among fowls.
