Read Psalm 148

148 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from heaven,
   you that live in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels,
   all his heavenly armies.
3 Praise him, sun and moon;
   praise him, shining stars.
4 Praise him, highest heavens,
   and the waters above the sky.[a]
5 Let them all praise the name of the Lord!
He commanded, and they were created;
6     by his command they were fixed in their places forever,
   and they cannot disobey.[b]
7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
   sea monsters and all ocean depths;
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
   strong winds that obey his command.
9 Praise him, hills and mountains,
   fruit trees and forests;
10 all animals, tame and wild,
   reptiles and birds.
11 Praise him, kings and all peoples,
   princes and all other rulers;
12 young women and young men,
   old people and children too.
13 Let them all praise the name of the Lord!
His name is greater than all others;
   his glory is above earth and heaven.
14 He made his nation strong,
   so that all his people praise him—
   the people of Israel, so dear to him.
Praise the Lord!

Think

The Psalmist calls the universe to worship the Lord - in verse 14 he speaks of the nation of Israel: “He made his nation strong, so that all his people praise him -“
All the strength, power and privilege you have received was and is for you to praise the LORD.

Pray

Lord let me use all my breath and all my power to praise you.
