15 The eyes of all wait for thee; And thou givest them their food in due season.
These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.
Who giveth food to all flesh; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever.
neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, `I have given' every green herb for food: and it was so.
Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, When they couch in their dens, `And' abide in the covert to lie in wait? Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, `And' wander for lack of food?
The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.
Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works.
Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!

And it is observable,
David's psalm of praise.
Psa 145:1-9
The entitling of this David's psalm of praise may intimate not only that he was the penman of it, but that he took a particular pleasure in it and sung it often; it was his companion wherever he went. In this former part of the psalm God's glorious attributes are praised, as, in the latter part of the psalm, his kingdom and the administration of it. Observe,
Psa 145:10-21
The greatness and goodness of him who is optimus et maximus-the best and greatest of beings, were celebrated in the former part of the psalm; here, in these verses, we are taught to give him the glory of his kingdom, in the administration of which his greatness and goodness shine so clearly, so very brightly. Observe, as before,
