Psalm 145:13b-16 Part 3 of 4

The LORD always keeps his promises;
    he is gracious in all he does. 
The LORD helps the fallen
    and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
The eyes of all look to you in hope;
    you give them their food as they need it.
When you open your hand,
    you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. 
 
The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.
Genesis 1:29-30   
    Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground--everything that has life." And that is what happened.  (see all Genesis 1)
Job 38:41  
"Who provides food for the ravens
    when their young cry out to God
    and wander about in hunger?"  (see all Job 38 - 39)
Psalm 78:24-29  
He rained down manna for them to eat;
    he gave them bread from heaven.
They ate the food of angels!
    God gave them all they could hold.
He released the east wind in the heavens
    and guided the south wind by his mighty power.
He rained down meat as thick as dust--
    birds as plentiful as the sand on the seashore!
He caused the birds to fall within their camp
    and all around their tents.
The people ate their fill.
    He gave them what they craved.  (see all Psalm 78, also Exodus 16)
Psalm 104:14-15  
You cause grass to grow for the livestock
    and plants for the people to use.
You allow them to produce food from the earth--
    wine to make them glad,
olive oil to soothe their skin,
    and bread to give them strength.  (see all Psalm 104)
