Psalms 148

Psalm 148 calls upon all creation—from heavenly hosts (מַלְאָכִים and צְבָאָיו), sun, moon, stars, and highest heavens, to earthly elements like sea creatures (תַּנִּינִים), fire, hail, mountains, trees, beasts, birds, kings, peoples, young men, maidens, old men, and children—to praise **YHWH** for commanding their creation and establishing them forever.[1][2] It exalts **YHWH**'s name alone as majestic above earth and heaven, declaring that He has raised up a **qeren** (horn of strength) for His people Israel, the saints near to Him, culminating in 'Hallelujah!'[1][4]
