THE KING OF THE BIUDS* 
" Thou makest darkness, and it is night ; 
wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep 
forth. The young lions roar after their prey, 
and seek their meat from God. 
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves 
together, and lay them down in their dens." 
These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest 
give them their meat in due season. That 
thou givest them they gather : thou openest 
thine hand, they are filled with good. Thou 
liidest thy face, they are troubled ; thou takest 
away their breath, they die, and return to 
their dust. 
"Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are 
created ; and thou renewest the face of the 
earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure foi 
ever : the Lord shall rejoice in his works."
