Psalms 148:5,6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Let them praise the name of the Lord “Who hath set forth his most transcendent wisdom, power, and magnificence in such a variety of stupendous works, that there is not the smallest of them, but ministers such matter of praise and admiration to those who attentively consider them, that they cannot but wish, with the psalmist here, that every one of them were able to tell us how much skill he hath shown in its contrivance; or that we were able to find it out and comprehend it.” He commanded, and they were created They owe their existence wholly to his will and pleasure. He hath also established them for ever and ever To the end of the world. They are, by his superintending and watchful providence, constantly preserved and continued. He made a decree, &c. “That is, prescribed rules to the heavens, the stars, and other creatures, as to their situation, motion, and influence; which, though inanimate, they never transgress.” Dodd.
