Psalms 148:2

Psa 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Ver. 2. Praise ye him, all his angels ] Whose proper office it is to adore and praise God, Job 38:7 Isa 6:3 Hebrews 1:6 , which also they do constantly and completely; as those that both perfectly know him and love him. Jacob saw them, 1. Ascending, to contemplate and praise the Lord, and minister to him, Luke 2:13 Dan 7:10 Mat 18:10 Psalms 103:20 . Psalms 103:2 . Descending, to execute God’s will upon men, for mercy to some, and for judgment to others; which tendeth much to his praise. And David, by calling upon these heavenly courtiers, provoketh and pricketh on himself to praise God.

Praise ye him, all his hosts ] i.e. His creatures (those above especially, which are as his cavalry), called his hosts for their, 1. Number 2. Order; 3. Obedience.
