Look at the great wide ocean

 

 

 

where countless fishes and creeping things live both big ones and little ones.

 

 

 

 

 

The ships sail there

 

 

and there is the sea monster that You made to play there.

 

 

 

All these wait on You to give them their food at dinnertime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You open Your hand and they eat good things.

 

 

 

If You hide Your face they get upset.

 

 

If You take away their breath, they die and go back to the dust You made them from.

 

 

 

 

When You send our Your Spirit, they are made new;

 

 

 

 

and You make new the face of the whole world.

 

 

 

 

Your best high brightness lasts forever;

 

 

 

The Lord will be happy about everything He does.

 

 

 

When You look at the earth, it shakes.

 

 

When You touch the hills smoke comes up.

 

 

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I am.

 

 

 

 

 

I will think sweet thoughts about Him.

 

 

 

 

I will be very happy in Him.

 

 

 

Let the bad ones disappear out of the world and let them be no more.

 

 

 

 

Give the best good thoughts to the Lord, O my soul.

 

 

 

 

Say the best things about the Lord.
