O Lord, how manifold are your works! ♦
In wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

There is the sea, spread far and wide, ♦
and there move creatures beyond number, both small and great.

There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan ♦
which you have made to play in the deep.

All of these look to you ♦
to give them their food in due season.

When you give it them, they gather it; ♦
you open your hand and they are filled with good.

When you hide your face they are troubled; ♦
when you take away their breath,
they die and return again to the dust.

When you send forth your spirit, they are created, ♦
and you renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; ♦
may the Lord rejoice in his works
