Berean Standard Bible
Chapter summary
Psalm 148 opens with a call for all heavenly beings, including angels, the sun, moon, shining stars, highest heavens, and waters above the skies, to praise the name of the Lord. The text explains that the Lord commanded their creation and established them forever with an unchangeable decree. The psalm then summons entities from the earth to offer praise, listing great sea creatures, ocean depths, weather elements like lightning, hail, snow, clouds, and powerful winds, as well as mountains, hills, fruit trees, and cedars. Wild animals, cattle, crawling creatures, and flying birds are also called upon to praise the Lord. Furthermore, the summons is extended to all human demographics on earth, encompassing kings, princes, rulers, young men, maidens, old people, and children alike. The psalm concludes by stating that the Lord's name alone is exalted, with His splendor extending above the earth and the heavens, and notes that He has raised up a horn for His people, bringing praise to His saints and to Israel, a people near to Him.
