Psalm 148:11 Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
12 Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven.
14 He has raised up a horn for his people,
praise for all his saints,
for the people of Israel who are near to him.
Praise the Lord!
This psalm ends as it begins: Praise the Lord! The psalmist starts by calling on those looking down on the earth to praise Him: the angels and heavenly hosts, the sun, moon and stars; every form of moisture and gas that falls on the earth: rain, hail, snow, fire, and wind. Next, he moves on to his creations on the earth: sea creatures, animals, flying creatures, hills and valleys. Finally, in the concluding paragraph above, he moves to mankind, of all ages and station in life, and calls upon us to praise him not only for creation, but even more: His salvation. This "horn" is the One who is powerful to save. Can you praise Him for both today?
