PSALM 148
7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
8 fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling his word!
9 Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!
10 Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
12 Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!
– Psalm 148:7-12

PSALM 148 A CALL TO ALL CREATURES TO PRAISE THE LORD
A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
Let us all come together to praise the Lord
All creatures big and small that occupies this world
For God has created all sea creatures in the seas and oceans
He also made all the beasts and animals grazing on the lands
The hills, valleys and mountains form such amazing sceneries
Only the Lord God can create all such wonderful beauty.
Come and gather all those people he created so brilliantly
He provided all of mankind with all their needs so generously
He made men, women and children in his own likeness
He also filled the earth with all kinds of birds and beasts
The seas were filled with fishes, sea creatures and mammals
Plants and trees cover some of the valleys and mountains.

• Why is it important to give praise to the Lord who made all creatures?
• What happens to Christians who forget to worship the Lord?
