You who [a]laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
You (A)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
[b]They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
You have (B)set a boundary that they may not pass over,
(C)That they may not return to cover the earth.

  2. Psalm 104:8 Or The mountains rose up; The valleys sank down

24 (A)O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your (B)possessions—
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 (C)Leviathan[a]
Which You have [b]made to play there.

27 (D)These 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;
(E)You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 (F)You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.
