24  O Lord, how manifold are your works!

In ^xwisdom have you made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

25  Here is the sea, great and wide,

^ywhich teems with creatures innumerable,

living things both small and great.

26  There go the ships,

and ^zLeviathan, which you formed to ^aplay in it.¹

27  These ^ball look to you,

to ^cgive them their food in due season.

28  When you give it to them, they gather it up;

when you ^dopen your hand, they are filled with good things.

29  When you ^ehide your face, they are ^fdismayed;

when you ^gtake away their breath, they die

and ^hreturn to their dust.

30  When you ⁱsend forth your Spirit,² they are created,

and you ^jrenew the face of the ground.
