Psalm 148

Praise God in the highest heavens;

            praise him beyond the stars.

Praise him, you bodhisattvas,

            and you angels burning with his love.

Praise him in the depths of matter,

            praise him in atomic space.

Praise him, you whirling electrons,

            you unimaginable quarks.

Praise him in lifeless galaxies;

            praise him from the pit of black holes.

Praise him, creatures on all planets,

            inconceivable forms of life.

Let them all praise the Unnamable,

            for he is their source, their home.

He make them in all their beauty

            and the laws by which they exist.

Praise God upon the earth,

            whales and all creatures of the sea,

fire, hail, snow, and frost,

            hurricanes fulfilling his command,

mountains and barren hills,

            fruit trees and cedar forests,

wild animals and tame,

            reptiles, insects, birds,

creatures invisible to the eye,

            and tiniest one-celled beings,

rich and poor, powerful

            and oppressed, dark-skinned and light-skinned,

men and women alike,

            old and young together.

Let them praise the Unnamable God,

            whose goodness is the breath of life,

who had made us in his own image,

            the light that fills heaven and earth.
