148:8 The elements of nature perform at God’s command (103:20; 104:4).
148:9-10 The psalmist hinted at the creation account in these verses, using peculiar expressions typical of Gn 1.
148:11-12 The list of people represents descending social status. All people are united in worship (Rm 10:12; Gl 3:28; Col 3:11). Prophets, priests, and other temple personnel were not mentioned, perhaps because they were the ones who were calling all others to praise God.
148:13 Yahweh’s kingly splendor is universal. No other god deserves praise.
148:14 To raise a horn signifies strength (see notes at 18:1-2; 75:4; 89:15-17).
