	24 How great are your works, O Lord! You have made all things in wisdom. The earth has been filled with your possessions.
	25 This sea is great and its hands are spacious. There are creeping things without number: the small animals with the great.
	26 There, the ships will pass by this sea-serpent that you have formed to mock them.
	27 All these expect you to give them food in due time.
	28 What you give to them, they will gather. When you open your hand, they will all be filled with goodness.
