Psalms148
Psalm 148 is a universal summons to all creation to praise the LORD. It begins by calling upon celestial beings and heavenly bodies, such as angels, the sun, moon, and stars, to laud God from the heights. The psalm then extends this command to all earthly elements and creatures, including mountains, animals, and all humanity. The overarching reason for this comprehensive praise is that God commanded, and all things were created and established by His decree, demonstrating His excellent name and glory.
