Psalms 148:7 - Exposition

Praise the Lord from the earth . The counterpart of the clause in Psalms 148:1 , "Praise ye the Lord from the heavens." Earth must join with heaven in the praise of God. Ye dragons ; or, "ye sea-monsters" (comp. Psalms 74:13 , where the same word is used). Hengstenberg translates by "whales;" but all the greater sea-animals are probably included. And all deeps . The extreme "ocean depths" are meant—"lower deeps," in certain parts of what was commonly known as "the great deep" ( Psalms 36:6 ).
