Psalms 104:28
26 There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
27 All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.
When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29 When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
30 When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
