Psalm 148 calls upon all creation to praise Yahweh.
Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts! (Psalm 148:2)
God’s angels praise and worship the Lord day and night. A section of angels fell because they would not properly honour God (Read Isaiah 14:12-15).
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens (Psalm 148:4)
Apostle Peter speaks of "the heavens |which| were of old," "the heavens . . . which are now," and the "new heavens" which God has promised (2 Peter 3:5, 7, 13) in the ages to come. The phrase "heaven of heavens" actually occurs at least six times in the Old Testament.
Presumably, the "heaven of heavens" is where God now has His heavenly throne and to which, after His resurrection, Christ "ascended up far above all heavens" (Ephesians 4:10) to be seated at the right hand of the Father. It is beyond all the stars and galaxies and presumably has no end. It may be synonymous with the third heaven of which Apostle Paul spoke of.
Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl; (Psalm 148:10)
Even the beasts and the cattle of the field praise their creator. The creeping things (even the little worm) has been given a voice to praise their creator.
Reasons to praise God (Psalm 148:13-14)
- For his name is very great
- his glory towers over the earth and heaven!
- He has made his people strong,
- Honouring his faithful ones—
- the people of Israel who are close to him.
