Psalms
Psalm 104:24–26
24How many are Your works, O LORD!
In wisdom You have made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures.
25Here is the sea, vast and wide,
teeming with creatures beyond number,
living things both great and small.
26There the ships pass,
and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
