Mazmur 104:20-23

104:20 You make it dark and night comes, ¹ 

during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.

104:21 The lions roar for prey,

seeking their food from God. ² 

104:22 When the sun rises, they withdraw

and sleep ³  in their dens.

104:23 Men then go out to do their work,

and labor away until evening. ⁴
