Salmos 148:12

12 los jóvenes, y también las doncellas; los viejos con los niños

Salmos 148:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 148:12

Both young men, and maidens
These should praise the Lord, the one for their strength, the other for their beauty; and both should remember their Creator in the days of their youth, and fear, serve, and worship him; so they will praise and glorify him, as did Obadiah, Josiah, Timothy, and the four daughters of Philip the evangelist;

old men, and children;
the former have had a large experience of the providential goodness of God, and, if good men, of the grace of God, and are under great obligation to praise the Lord for all that he has done for them; for they have known him that is from the beginning, and have seen many of his wonderful works, which they should not forget to declare to their children, to the honour and glory of God; and even out of the mouth of "children", of babes and sucklings, who have less knowledge, and less experience, God sometimes does ordain strength and perfect praise to himself; see ( Psalms 8:2 ) ; compared with ( Matthew 21:15 Matthew 21:16 ) .

Salmos 148:12 In-Context

10 la bestia, y todo animal; el que va arrastrando, y el ave que vuela

11 los reyes de la tierra, y todos los pueblos; los príncipes, y todos los jueces de la tierra

12 los jóvenes, y también las doncellas; los viejos con los niños

13 alaben el Nombre del SEÑOR, porque sólo su Nombre es elevado; su gloria es sobre tierra y cielos

14 El ensalzó el cuerno de su pueblo; alábenle todos sus misericordiosos, los hijos de Israel, el pueblo a él cercano. Alelu-JAH
