Psalm 148: Circle of Praise

Here’s a contemporary take on Psalm 148, written for a “blessing of the animals” service.  It comes from the Web of Creation website.

Circle of Praise

(inspired by Psalm 148)

All dogs and cats, large and small:
Praise the Lord!

All rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs:
Praise the Lord!

All goldfish, guppies, and swimming creatures:
Praise the Lord!

All robins, wrens, and singing birds:
Praise the Lord!

All racoons, squirrels, and deer:
Praise the Lord!

All horses, cows, and sheep:
Praise the Lord!

All lizards, snakes and creeping things:
Praise the Lord!

Every animal in the sky, the sea, and the forest:
Praise the Lord!
