²⁴O Lord, how manifold are your works!
   In wisdom you have made them all;
   the earth is full of your creatures.
²⁷These all look to you
   to give them their food in due season;
²⁸when you give to them, they gather it up;
   when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
²⁹When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
   when you take away their breath, they die
   and return to their dust.
³⁰When you send forth your spirit,^* they are created;
   and you renew the face of the ground.
