Psalm 148 is the third of the final 5 hallelujah / praise the Lord psalms that bring this book to a close. It is a song of jubilant universal praise from the highest heaven to the lowest place for God the creator. Thus the psalmist exhorts: "Praise the Lord from the heavens... angels... sun, moon and stars... for God commanded and they were created... he set them in place for ever... praise the Lord great sea creatures, lightening, hail, snow and clouds... mountains, hills, trees, wild animals, cattle, kings, princes, birds... everything praise the Lord!"
