Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 148:1-14

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 148:1-14
This is another hallelujah psalm of Haggai and of Zechariah the prophets, in which all nature is made the choir, and Jehovah the object of the song. Psalms 148:4 . Ye heavens of heavens.

Psalms 148:13Let them praise the name of the Lord.Universal praise due to GodI. The goodness of God to the irrational creatures. Although Nature is out of joint, yet even in its disruption I am surprised to find the almost universal happiness of the animal creation.
