Psalm 148 "O praise, O praise the LORD! Praise him from heavens’ height!" Sing Psalms; tune St John

Psalm 148
tune: St John (6 6 6 6 8 8) meter
"O praise, O praise the LORD! Praise him from heavens’ height!"
Falkirk Free Church
Rather than any images I've put the first table of the law which deals with God and his representatives. There are many correspondences between the psalm and this first table. The second table would not resonate in the same way. If there had been no fall then much of this psalm could still have been written. The end of the Psalter his lots of praise and sin gives way to singing and dancing.

PSALM 148 6 6 6 6 8 8

1 O praise, O praise the LORD!
Praise him from heavens’ height!
2 All angels, give him praise;
Praise him, you hosts of light.
3 Praise him, sun, moon and stars on high,
4 You highest heavens and cloudy sky.

5 O let them praise his name,
The name of God the LORD,
For he created them
By his almighty word.
6 He set their place eternally;
For ever fixed is his decree.

7 The LORD praise from the earth,
You creatures of the deep,
8 Fire, hail, snow, clouds and winds,
Which his commandments keep.
9 You hills and trees, beasts wild and tame,
10 Small creatures, birds, exalt his name.

11 All nations and earth’s kings,
Princes and all who reign;
12 Young men and maidens too,
Both children and old men:
13 The LORD’s great name by them be praised;
His name alone on high is raised.

His glory shines abroad
Above the earth and heaven;
14 And he to his own folk
A mighty king has given.
Let Israèl give praise to God;
They are his people. Praise the LORD!
