Psalms 148:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 148:4

2 Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!

3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!

4 Praise Him, ^ayou heavens of heavens,
And ^byou waters above the heavens!

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For ^aHe commanded and they were created.

6 ^aHe also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
^aYou great sea creatures and all the depths;

8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

9 ^aMountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl;

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;

12 Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His ^aname alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.

14 And He ^ahas exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of ^ball His saints—
Of the children of Israel,
^cA people near to Him.
¹Praise the Lord!
