Psalms 104:9,29 - Compare All Versions

You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.

When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.

You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.

When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.

You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again.

When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: Thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.

You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

O my soul, bless GOD! GOD, my God, how great you are! beautifully, gloriously robed, Dressed up in sunshine, and all heaven stretched out for your tent. You built your palace on the ocean deeps, made a chariot out of clouds and took off on wind-wings. You commandeered winds as messengers, appointed fire and flame as ambassadors. You set earth on a firm foundation so that nothing can shake it, ever. You blanketed earth with ocean, covered the mountains with deep waters; Then you roared and the water ran away— your thunder crash put it to flight. Mountains pushed up, valleys spread out in the places you assigned them. You set boundaries between earth and sea; never again will earth be flooded. You started the springs and rivers, sent them flowing among the hills. All the wild animals now drink their fill, wild donkeys quench their thirst. Along the riverbanks the birds build nests, ravens make their voices heard. You water the mountains from your heavenly reservoirs; earth is supplied with plenty of water. You make grass grow for the livestock, hay for the animals that plow the ground.

What a wildly wonderful world, GOD! You made it all, with Wisdom at your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations. Oh, look—the deep, wide sea, brimming with fish past counting, sardines and sharks and salmon. Ships plow those waters, and Leviathan, your pet dragon, romps in them. All the creatures look expectantly to you to give them their meals on time. You come, and they gather around; you open your hand and they eat from it. If you turned your back, they’d die in a minute— Take back your Spirit and they die, revert to original mud; Send out your Spirit and they spring to life— the whole countryside in bloom and blossom.

You set a boundary so that they will not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

You hide Your face, they are terrified; You take away their breath, they perish And return to their dust.

You set a boundary [for the waters] that they may not cross over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die And return to their dust.

You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again.

When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life’s breath, they die and return to dust.
