Psalms 148:10
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
10. Beasts, and all cattle. Animals fierce or tame; wild beats and domestic cattle; let all these show forth the praises of Jehovah. Those are worse than beasts who do not praise our God. Creeping things, and flying fowl. The multitudes that throng the earth and the air; insects of every form and birds of every wing are called upon to join the universal worship. No one can become familiar with insect and bird life without feeling that they constitute a wonderful chapter in the history of divine worship. The minute insect marvelously proclaims the Lord’s handiwork: when placed under the microscope it tells a wondrous tale. So, too, the bird which soars aloft displays in its adaptation for an aerial life an amount of skill which our balloonists have in vain attempted to emulate. True devotion not only hears the praises of God in the sweet song of leathered minstrels, but even discovers it in the croaking from the marsh, or in the buzz of “the blue fly which singeth in the window-pane.” More base than reptiles, more insignificant than insects, are songless people.
