Psalm 104:27-30 Part 1 of 2

They all depend on you

    to give them food as they need it.

When you supply it, they gather it.

    You open your hand to feed them,

    and they are richly satisfied.

But if you turn away from them, they panic.

    When you take away their breath,

    they die and turn to dust.

When you give them your breath, life is created,

    and you renew the face of the earth.

They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.
