Psalms 104:19-23

Psalms 104

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.

20You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.

21The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.

22The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.

23Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.
