Psalms 104:29

How Many Are Your Works, O LORD!

28When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things. 29When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust. 30When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
