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

Verse 29 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.

Verbirgst du dein Angesicht, so erschrecken sie; du nimmst weg ihren Odem, so vergehen sie und werden wieder zu Staub.
Escondes tu rostro, túrbanse: Les quitas el espíritu, dejan de ser, Y tórnanse en su polvo.
Escondes tu rostro y se aterran; les retiras el aliento, mueren y vuelven a su polvo.
Tu caches ta face: ils sont tremblants; Tu leur retires le souffle: ils expirent, Et retournent dans leur poussière.
Se tu nascondi la tua faccia, sono smarriti; Se tu ritiri il fiato loro, trapassano, E ritornano nella lor polvere.
Escondes o teu rosto, e ficam perturbados; se lhes tiras o fôlego, morrem, e voltam para o seu pó.
你轉臉,牠們就驚惶; 你收回牠們的氣,牠們就死亡,歸於塵土。
