A Psalm for Pentecost

(try to read this with another person: alternate the verses)

 

Psalm 104:24  O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psa 104:25  Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great.

Psa 104:26  There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.

Psa 104:27  These all look to you to give them their food in due season;

Psa 104:28  when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

Psa 104:29  When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

Psa 104:30  When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.

Psa 104:31  May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works--

Psa 104:32  who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke.

Psa 104:33  I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

Psa 104:34  May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
