Psalm 148:7-12 Part 3 of 4

Praise the LORD from the earth,

    you creatures of the ocean depths,

fire and hail, snow and clouds, 

    wind and weather obey him,

mountains and all hills,

    fruit trees and all cedars,

wild animals and all livestock

    small scurrying animals and birds,

kings of the earth and all people,

    rulers and judges of the earth,

young men and young women,

    old men and children.

Isaiah 44:23

Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done this wondrous thing.

    Shout for joy, O depths of the earth!

Break into song,

    O mountains and forests and every tree!

For the LORD has redeemed Jacob

    and is glorified in Israel.  (see Isaiah 44:21-28)

Isaiah 49:13  

Sing for joy, O heavens!

    Rejoice, O earth!

    Burst into song, O mountains!

For the LORD has comforted his people

    and will have compassion on them in their suffering.  (see Isaiah 49:8-26)

Isaiah 55:12-13  

"You will live in joy and peace.

    The mountains and hills will burst into song,

    and the trees of the field will clap their hands!

Where there once were thorns, cypress trees will grow.

    Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.

These events will bring great honor to the LORD's name;

     they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love."  (see all Isaiah 55)

Isaiah 43:19-20  

"For I am about to do something new.

    See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

    I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

    the jackals and owls, too,

    for giving them water in the desert.

Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland

    so my chosen people can be refreshed."  (see Isaiah 43:14-28)

Hosea 2:18  

"On that day I will make a covenant

    with all the wild animals and the birds of the sky

and the animals that scurry along the ground

    so they will not harm you.

I will remove all weapons of war from the land,

    all swords and bows,

so you can live unafraid

    in peace and safety."  (see Hosea 2:14-23)

Job 5:22-23  

"You will laugh at destruction and famine;

    wild animals will not terrify you.

You will be at peace with the stones of the field,

    and its wild animals will be at peace with you."  (see all Job 5)
