Bible Note: The Earth's Praise. So, there are many scriptures that speak of the ground - or more generally, nature - praising God. These are the clearest anticedents to Jesus' statement during his grand entrance into Jerusalem. "Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord." (Psalm 98:8) "The mountains and the hills will break forth into singing before you" (Isaiah 55:12) "Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted" (Isaiah 49:13) So, if this type of verse could be called called "the Earth's Praise" --- what verses would be "the Earth's Lament" ? |
