Psalm 148:1-14: \u201cPraise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.\u201d<\/p>\n
1 I sing the mighty power of God,
\nThat made the mountains rise,
\nThat spread the flowing seas abroad,
\nAnd built the lofty skies.
\nI sing the wisdom that ordained,
\nThe sun to rule the day;
\nThe moon shines full at God\u2019s command,
\nAnd all the stars obey.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n2 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
\nWho filled the earth with food,
\nWho formed the creatures through the Word,
\nAnd then pronounced them good.
\nLord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
\nWhere\u2019er I turn my eye,
\nIf I survey the ground I tread,
\nOr gaze upon the sky.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n3 There\u2019s not a plant or flower below,
\nBut makes Thy glories known,
\nAnd clouds arise, and tempests blow,
\nBy order from Thy throne;
\nWhile all that borrows life from Thee,
\nIs ever in Thy care;
\nAnd everywhere that we can be,
\nThou, God art present there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
