Psalm Ps. 148. All of God’s creatures should join in praising him. The concluding verse, regarding God’s special people Israel, may refer to some particular event such as the return from exile, or it may be a more general reference to the protection God has given his people. Regardless, God’s favor for Israel is put into the larger context of his plan to bring light to all mankind through Israel.
Ps. 148:1–6 The heavens and everything found in them should praise the Lord, who commanded with the result that they were created.
Ps. 148:7–12 Next the psalm invites the creatures under the heavens to praise the Lord: the great sea creatures and all ocean deeps, along with various kinds of weather, the features of the land, trees, and the animals. Likewise all of mankind should praise him because this is what they were made for.
Ps. 148:13–14 A recurring theme in Psalms is that all mankind should praise the Lord, the one true God. God has given Israel a great privilege in calling them to be near to him, in making promises to them, and in using them to bring knowledge of God to the rest of the world.
