Praise to the Creator

(Psalm 148:1-14)
1
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
2
Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully and sing with joy.
4
For Yahweh’s word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
5
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of Yahweh’s covenant faithfulness.
6
By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, and all the stars were made by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea together like a heap; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
8
Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; 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 in place.
10
Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
11
The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for all generations.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance.
13
Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
14
From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
15
He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
16
No king is saved by a vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great strength.
17
A horse is false security for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
18
See, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who count on his covenant faithfulness
19
to deliver their lives from death and to keep them alive in times of famine.
20
We wait for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.
21
Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
22
Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us 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.
