Psalm 104:27-30
“These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. You give to them, they gather. You open your hand, they are satisfied with good. You hide your face, they are troubled. You take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. You send out your Spirit, they are created. You renew the face of the ground.”
Psalm 104 is a hymn of praise to God as the creator and sustainer of the world. It echoes themes from Genesis but expands on God's active and ongoing engagement with creation, describing how God provides for all living things and renews the earth.
