Psalms 104:32
30 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.
He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
