Praise to the Creator

(Psalm 148:1-14)
1
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
2
Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
3
Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
4
For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
5
He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
6
By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.
8
Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
9
For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
10
The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
11
The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
12
Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13
The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
14
From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
15
He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
16
The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
17
A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
18
Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
19
To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
20
Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
21
Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
22
Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.

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.
