Psalm 104:19-23 Part 2 of 2

You made the moon to mark the seasons,

    and the sun knows when to set.

You send the darkness and it becomes night,

    when all the forest animals prowl about.

Then the young lions roar for their prey,

    stalking the food provided by God.

At dawn they slink back

    into their dens to rest.

Then people go off to their work,

    where they labor until evening.
