Personal God
257
“O Jehovah, how manifold are Thy works!
In wisdom hast Thou made them all:
The earth is full of Thy riches.
Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
Wherein are things creeping innumerable,
Both small and great beasts.
There go the ships;
There is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to
play therein.
These wait all for Thee,
That Thou mayest give them their food in due
season.
Thou givest unto them, they gather;
Thou openest Thy hand,
They are satisfied with good.
Thou hidest Thy face,
They are troubled;
Thou takest away their breath,
They die,
And return to their dust.
Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit,
They are created;
And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
“Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever;
Let Jehovah rejoice in His works:
Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;
He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
[275]
I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live:
I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
Let my meditation be sweet unto Him:
I will rejoice in Jehovah.”
Psalm 104:1-34
