The psalmist celebrates God who opens His hand and satisfies the desires of every living thing in His creation.
God's provision extends to all creation - not just humanity but every living creature. His hand is always open, never closed or stingy. The word 'satisfies' implies complete fulfillment, not bare minimum. God provides abundantly for the desires of His creatures, showing His generous character toward all He has made.
