Week of May 3, 2007, Psalm 148
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is Psalm 148 – a psalm of praise, encouraging all creation to worship and praise the Lord – praising from the heavens, to the earth, animals and elements, kings and rulers, to each one of us praising the Lord:
1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created.
6 He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the LORD.
Heavenly Father, we praise You. May all creation praise You – from the heights of the heavens, the angels, all the heavenly hosts, praise You, Lord. May all Your creation, Lord, praise You, from the moon and stars, to the seas and ocean depths, all Your creation of wild animals and flying birds and small creatures – all Your creation praise You. May all Your people praise You, Lord, from rulers and kings to young and old.
May we praise the name of the Lord, for Your name alone is exalted and glorified. Your splendor is above the earth and the heavens – above all things. You have raised up for Your people a horn, a strong one, a King, Jesus Christ, who we all praise, for the time of Israel to the present – all people close to Your heart, Lord. We praise You, O Lord!
Thanks for Your presence and love and strength with us. Amen.
May the Lord bless you as you go on your way. May He go before you to show you the way. May He go behind you to encourage you. May He go beside you to guide and befriend you. May He always be above you to watch over you. And may He be within you to give you peace.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
