Praise to the Almighty Creator

1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

Praise to the Creator
(Psalm 148:1–14)

1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

2 Give thanks to Yahweh 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 word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

6 By Yahweh’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 Yahweh. 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 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

13 Yahweh 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, Yahweh’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 Yahweh. 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, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.

Praise to the Creator
(Psalm 148:1–14)

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones;

it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.

2 Praise the LORD with the harp;

make music to Him with ten strings.

3 Sing to Him a new song;

play skillfully with a shout of joy.

4 For the word of the LORD is upright,

and all His work is trustworthy.

5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of His loving devotion.

6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,

and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

7 He piles up the waters of the sea;

He puts the depths into storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD;

let all the people of the world revere Him.

9 For He spoke, and it came to be;

He commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations;

He thwarts the devices of the peoples.

11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever,

the purposes of His heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,

the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

13 The LORD looks down from heaven;

He sees all the sons of men.

14 From His dwelling place He gazes

on all who inhabit the earth.

15 He shapes the hearts of each;

He considers all their works.

16 No king is saved by his vast army;

no warrior is delivered by his great strength.

17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation;

even its great strength cannot save.

18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him,

on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

19 to deliver them from death

and keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the LORD;

He is our help and our shield.

21 For our hearts rejoice in Him,

since we trust in His holy name.

22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD,

as we put our hope in You.

 

Praise to the Almighty Creator

1Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise is comely.

2Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,

3Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.

4For upright is the word of Jehovah, And all His work is in faithfulness.

5Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

6By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

7Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

8Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.

9For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

10Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.

11The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

12O the happiness of the nation whose God is Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

13From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

14From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

15Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

16The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

17A false thing is the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

18Lo, the eye of Jehovah is to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

19To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield is He,

21For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.

22Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
