Psalm Chapter 148

Psalm 148: When All Creation Finds Its VoiceHere at last is the psalm that lets us overhear what has been happening all along. The sun and moon, the deeps of the sea, the dragons and the cedars, the creeping things and the flying fowl — all of them have been praising God since before we arrived. The psalmist is not commanding them to begin; he is commanding us to notice. For the whole cosmos is already a choir, and we, latecomers that we are, have merely been given the astonishing invitation to join in. The angels and the heights sing above us. The fire and hail and stormy wind sing around us. And somewhere between the old men and the children, there is a place kept open — for you. This is what we were made for: not to be the audience of creation, but to add our particular, unrepeatable voice to the great sound that was ancient before the morning stars sang together.00:00 Call to Cosmic Praise00:13 The Heavenly Chorus00:26 The Decree That Holds00:35 Earth Joins the Song00:55 Kings, Children, and All Between01:07 His Glory Above All
