Praise to the Creator

(Psalm 148:1-14)
1
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7
He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.

Praise to the Creator

(Psalm 148:1-14)
1
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2
Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4
For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
6
By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9
For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11
The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13
The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15
he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18
Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20
Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21
For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22
Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
