Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars! Praise Him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the LORD! For He commanded and they were created. And He established them forever and ever; He gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Lord, all creation pours out praise to Your name. There is nothing in the heavens, on the earth, under the earth that does not proclaim the might and wisdom of Your creative Word. If I listen to the testimony of the progression of the galaxies; if I listen to the testimony of the smallest, most infinitesimal subatomic particle, all declare the glory and exquisite coherence of Your handiwork. The very definition of beauty is Your creation.
