Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 104 of Psalms. Psalm 104 contemplates creation as a world continuously ordered and sustained by God. Light, heavens, waters, mountains, animals, vegetation, seas, and human beings appear integrated into a structure of dependence. God did not merely create the world in the past, but sustains it by providing food and breath to his creatures. The psalm ends with a request that sin disappear and with another invitation to bless the Lord.

Du machst Finsternis, daß es Nacht wird; da regen sich alle wilden Tiere,
Pone las tinieblas, y es la noche: En ella corretean todas las bestias de la selva.
Pones la oscuridad y llega la noche; en ella se mueven todos los animales del bosque.
Tu amènes les ténèbres, et il est nuit: Alors tous les animaux des forêts sont en mouvement;
Tu mandi le tenebre, ed e’ si fa notte, Nella quale tutte le fiere delle selve vanno attorno.
Ordenas a escuridão, e faz-se noite, na qual saem todos os animais da selva.
你造黑暗為夜, 林中的百獸就都爬出來。
