Psalms 148:2 - Exposition

Praise ye him, all his angels (comp. Psalms 103:20 , Psalms 103:21 ). As the angels occupy the first rank in creation, and have the most to praise God for, they are fitly called upon to commence the song of jubilation. The praises of God must form their chief occupation through all eternity. Praise ye him, all his hosts ; rather, all his host . In the "host of God" are included beings of inferior rank to angels—"ministers of his that do his pleasure" ( Psalms 103:21 ).
