Psalms 148

⁴Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Heavens of heavens - Ye highest heavens, the place of God’s throne. Waters - Ye clouds which are above a part of the heavens.

⁶He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

Established - He hath made them constant and incorruptible, not changeable, as the things of the lower world. A decree - Concerning their continuance.

⁷Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

Dragons - Either serpents, which hide in the deep caverns of the earth; or whales, and other sea-monsters, which dwell in the depths of the sea.

⁸Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Fire - Lightnings and other fireworks of the air. Vapour - Or, fumes: hot exhalations. Fulfilling his word - Executing his commands, either for the comfort or punishment of the inhabitants of the earth.

¹³Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

Above - Above all the glories which are in earth and in heaven.

¹⁴He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

The horn - In scripture commonly denotes strength, victory, glory, and felicity.
