Psalm 148 - Let all creation praise Him

Another Psalm of praise, this time starting with a call to all of the cosmos to praise the Lord. The angels too are to praise Him.
Verse 5 gives the fundamental reason why all of creation (and angels are part of creation) is to praise the Lord. It is that we were created by God.
Then the psalmist turns his attention to the earth. All aspects of creation are to praise Him. Natural phenomena, all creatures, all people, including the rulers.
The psalm closes with an allusion to Christ. Horn is a sign of strength, Jesus is the horn that God has raised up for His chosen people.
