New Again...

"We need not be afraid to let the seasons change."

- Ann-Maree Keefe (Powerlines)

Psalm 104:19-30

New Century Version (NCV)

¹⁹ You made the moon to mark the seasons, 
       and the sun always knows when to set. 
 ²⁰ You make it dark, and it becomes night. 
       Then all the wild animals creep around.
 ²¹ The lions roar as they attack. 
       They look to God for food.
 ²² When the sun rises, they leave 
       and go back to their dens to lie down.
 ²³ Then people go to work 
       and work until evening. 

 ²⁴ Lord, you have made many things; 
       with your wisdom you made them all. 
       The earth is full of your riches. 
 ²⁵ Look at the sea, so big and wide, 
       with creatures large and small that cannot be counted.
 ²⁶ Ships travel over the ocean, 
       and there is the sea monster Leviathan, 
       which you made to play there. 

 ²⁷ All these things depend on you 
       to give them their food at the right time. 
 ²⁸ When you give it to them, 
       they gather it up. 
    When you open your hand, 
       they are filled with good food.
 ²⁹ When you turn away from them, 
       they become frightened. 
    When you take away their breath, 
       they die and turn to dust.
 ³⁰ When you breathe on them, 
       they are created, 
       and you make the land new again.
