Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Ver. 1. Praise ye the Lord] See Psalms 148:1 .
Praise God in his sanctuary] It is probable, saith Beza, that hoc Psalmo mirifici ardoris plano, by this psalm, which is so full of wonderful ardour, the holy singers of the sanctuary did mutually stir up one another to praise the Lord. It hath been noted before, that here we have in six verses twelve hallelujahs. Some by "sanctuary" understand heaven; others, the hearts of believers.
Praise him in the firmament of his power] Or, for the firmament wherein appeareth his power, Psalms 21:1. Or, for the Church, and the firmament of faith.
