PSALM 148

Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
3 Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD!
For he commanded and they were created.
6 And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
– Psalm 148:1-6

PSALM 148 REASONS TO PRAISE THE LORD
A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
The Lord is the creator of all things in heaven and on earth
Without his steadfast love, we will not be alive
He made light as it was dark and void in the beginning
He provided for humans, his image bearer and all living beings
What a wonderful world he made so that his kingdom will be established!
Look at all the amazing things God made; isn’t he worthy of worship and praise?
Have you ever heard of another god who can create just from his own breath?
No other gods can do the majestic creation that he has made
He fashioned humans in his own likeness; what awesome plan he has
When men sinned, he gave his only begotten Son to remedy man’s fall
The Lord God made us new through his Son Jesus Christ
Praise the Lord for his mercy and grace; he gave us freedom and life.
