Psalms 104:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 104:21

19 ^aHe appointed the moon for seasons;
The ^bsun knows its going down.

20 ^aYou make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.

21 ^aThe young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God.

22 When the sun rises, they gather together
And lie down in their dens.

23 Man goes out to ^ahis work
And to his labor until the evening.

24 ^aO Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your ^bpossessions—

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.
