Psalms 104:19-24

[19] He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting. [20] You appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about. [21] The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God. [22] When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their dens. [23] Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening. [24] O Lord, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions.
