Psalm 148 reimagined

1. Acclaim the Lord.

Acclaim the Lord in the hidden places.  Acclaim him / her throughout the universe that he / she has made.

2. Acclaim him / her all his / her many followers and acclaim him / her all creation’s forces.
3. Let the mighty sun and beautiful moon acclaim him / her.  Let every single star in the universe acclaim him / her.
4. May his / her praise echo in the skies above the earth and throughout the vast stretches of space.
5. Let everything that he / she made, worship the Lord.  He / she spoke his / her instructions and life was created.
6. He / she gave everything a place and purpose that will last forever.  It can never be undone.  

7. May the Lord be congratulated from the earth he / she created, starting with the animals in the deepest oceans.
8. May the weather patterns he / she established congratulate him / her – cloud and winds; thunder and lightning; snow and hail.
9. May the landscape congratulate him / her led by the mountains and hills.  May the trees congratulate him / her especially the trees that bear fruits and the cedars.
10. May all the animals congratulate him / her both the wild and the domesticated ones; small creatures scurrying on the ground and the birds soaring on the air currents of the sky.
11. May all the peoples of the earth congratulate him / her – the leaders and all their people; the lawmakers and the judges.
12. May the old and the young; the women and the men congratulate him / her.

13. Let everything and everyone praise the Lord.  His / her reputation is great and his / her works and presence dominate the whole universe.
14. His / her Spirit makes his / her followers strong, giving his / her presence to those who are committed to him / her – his / her church who love being close to him / her.

Acclaim the Lord.
