Everything on earth, join in and praise the Eternal;
sea monsters and creatures of the deep,
Lightning and hail, snow and foggy mists,
violent winds all respond to His command.
Mountains and hills,
fruit trees and cedar forests,
All you animals both wild and tame,
reptiles and birds who take flight:
praise the Lord.
Psalm 148: 7-10 The Voice
**********
Doth not all nature around me praise God?
If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe.
Doth not the thunder praise Him
as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies?
Do not the mountains praise Him
when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration?
Doth not the lightning write His name in letters of fire?
Hath not the whole earth a voice?
And shall I, can I, silent be?
Charles Spurgeon
**********
All creation will stand in awe of You, O Eternal One.
Thanks will pour from the mouths of every one of Your creatures;
Your holy people will bless You.
They will not be silent; they will talk of the grandeur of Your kingdom
and celebrate the wonder of Your power
Until everyone on earth who has ears to hear knows Your valiant acts
and the splendor of Your kingdom.
Psalm 145:10-12 The Voice
