The Builder of the Ages
We in this dark and sinful world know little of heavenly world of light. But we know that there's is above us a world of blessed angels they are always praising God, therefore the psalmist shows his desires that God may be praised in the best manner, also we know that we have communion wirh the spirit above, who are still praising him the heavens with all contained in them, declare the glory of God, they call on us, that both by word and deed, we glorify with them the Creator and redeemer of the universe. Praise Him ye heavens of heavens, referring to the idea that there is one heaven rising above another. See notes (Psalm 68:33). See (1King 8:27). "Behold, the heavens and heavens of heavens cannot contain thee." compare (2 Chronicle 2:6). The author of these psalm is unknown the occasion on which it was composed was probably the same as that which the two precious psalm and the two following were written each commencing and closing with Hallelujah that occasion was most probably, as before remarked, the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the captivity and dedication of the temple. The psalm is in general, call on all part of the universe to praised the Lord. It is properly divided into two portions- the first (psalm148:1-6), the call is addressed to the heavens to all that is above heaven to YHWH, Elohim, in the second (psalm147:7-14), the call is addresses to all the dweller on the earth to unite in that praised. The psalm is the most animated and triumphant that the language account with thru sentiment. It is adapted to the most animating and spirit stirring music and these psalm. In the Hebrew conception of the cosmos was supposed to be the foundation while itself rest on the firmament or heavenly vaults see (psalm104:3).
