Creation and Praise

I have written several poems with the intention of highlighting the styles of scripture in my own poetry. While this poem does not exactly replicate any particular style of scripture it is intended to be reminiscent of the psalms. The content is obviously the creation of the world.

Your greatness is seen in the glory of the stars
Your majesty descends from the heavens
By your word this world was born
Your speech birthed Venus, Mercury, and Mars

Your glorious word brought light to dark
And 'twas your pleasure to draw back the seas
Dry land you raised and seeded well
To grow a perch for Robin, Sparrow, and Lark

By your will you made the birds to fly here to and fro
And flit their way across the empty skies
And many fish the seas to swim
And dive down deep below

In sky you set out points of light
Great balls of roiling gas
For the day the sun to rule
And the moon to stand in trust for night

You made great beasts to walk the land
And crawling things in dust to dwell
Man you made to praise your name
In your glory revel, and by your might to stand

So let all stand to praise your name
Your glory we may privileged sing
And stand in worship your name to bring
To this now tainted world
