Psalms 104:30
28 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.
When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
