23 Then people go out to do their work and keep working until evening.
23
Then people go out to their work, to their labor until evening.
24 Lord, you have made so many things! How wisely you made them all! The earth is filled with your creatures.
24
How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the ocean, large and wide, where countless creatures live, large and small alike.
25
There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small.
26 The ships sail on it, and in it plays Leviathan, that sea monster which you made.
26
There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
27 All of them depend on you to give them food when they need it.
27
All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
28 You give it to them, and they eat it; you provide food, and they are satisfied.
28
When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you turn away, they are afraid; when you take away your breath, they die and go back to the dust from which they came.
29
When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.
30 But when you give them breath, they are created; you give new life to the earth.
30
When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord last forever! May the Lord be happy with what he has made!
31
May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works—
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles; he touches the mountains, and they pour out smoke.
32
he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord all my life; as long as I live I will sing praises to my God.
33
I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
