23Man goes out to his work and to his service until evening.24How numerous are your works! O LORD, you have made them all in wisdom; the earth is full of your possessions.25This is the great and spacious sea, the possession of your hands. There the creatures creep with no number, small living beings with great ones.26There the ships go, Leviathan—this you formed to sport in it.27All of them look to you to give them their food in its time.28You give to them, and they gather it up. You open your hand, and they are filled with good.29You hide your face—they are terrified; you gather their spirit—they expire, and they return to their dust.30You send your Spirit, and they are created; you renew the face of the ground.31May the glory of the LORD be forever; the LORD rejoices in his works.32He who looks to the earth and it trembles; he touches the mountains and they smoke.33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I am.34May my meditation be pleasing to him; I will rejoice in the LORD.35Let sinners perish from the land, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Praise the LORD.

Chapter 105
1Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his wondrous deeds among the peoples.2Sing to him, sing praises to him; meditate on all his wonders.3Boast in the name of his holy thing. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.4Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face continually.5Remember the wonders he has done, his signs and the judgments of his mouth.6Seed of Abraham his servant, sons of Jacob his chosen ones.7He is the LORD our God; his judgments are throughout all the land.8He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded to a thousand generations.9which he cut with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.10And he confirmed it as a statute to Jacob, a covenant forever to Israel.11saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance."12When they were few in number, of little account, and strangers in it.13And they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.14He did not permit any man to oppress them, and he reproved kings on their account.15Do not touch my anointed ones, and do no harm to my prophets.16And he called famine upon the land; he broke all staff of bread grain.17He sent a man before them, sold as a servant: Joseph.18They afflicted his foot with an iron fetter. His soul came into iron.19until the time that his word came; the word of the LORD tested him.20The king sent and released him; he let him go beyond the ruler of the peoples and set him free.21He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions.22To bind his princes as he wished, and to make his elders wise.23Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.24He made his people exceedingly fruitful and made them stronger than their oppressors.25He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal deceitfully with his servants.26He sent Moses his servant, Aaron whom he had chosen.27They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.28He sent darkness, and it grew dark, but they did not rebel against his word.29He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.31He said, and a swarm of frogs came into all their borders.
