20 You bring darkness,(A) it becomes night,(B)
    and all the beasts of the forest(C) prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey(D)
    and seek their food from God.(E)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.(F)
23 Then people go out to their work,(G)
    to their labor until evening.(H)

24 How many are your works,(I) Lord!
    In wisdom you made(J) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.(K)
25 There is the sea,(L) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.(M)
26 There the ships(N) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,(O) which you formed to frolic(P) there.(Q)

27 All creatures look to you
    to give them their food(R) at the proper time.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
