In this week’s study from Tehillim / Psalms 148:1-14, the psalm opens saying, א הַלְלוּיָהּ | הַלְלוּ אֶת-יְהֹוָה מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם הַלְלוּהוּ בַּמְּרוֹמִים: 148:1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! ב הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל-מַלְאָכָיו הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל-צְבָאָו [צְבָאָיו]: 148:2 Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! ג הַלְלוּהוּ שֶׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל-כּוֹכְבֵי אוֹר: 148:3 Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all stars of light! ד הַלְלוּהוּ שְׁמֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם וְהַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר | מֵעַל הַשָּׁמָיִם: 148:4 Praise Him, highest heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens! ה יְהַלְלוּ אֶת-שֵׁם יְהֹוָה כִּי הוּא צִוָּה וְנִבְרָאוּ: 148:5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, For He commanded and they were created. (NASB) The psalmist speaks to the heavens, the angels, the sun, moon, and stars, all of God’s creation to sing praises to His name because He commanded and they were created. The power of God in His Word, He speaks and things happen. (Isaiah 55:11)
