HALLELUYAH! Praise God. From the heavens, offer praise to Adonai, on high, offer praise: all angels, offer praise to God, all the hosts of heaven, offer praise to God, sun and moon, offer praise to God, bright stars offer praise to God, highest heavens and waters above, offer praise to God; may all praise the name Adonai. For God commanded they be born, set them in their places forever, and fixed the boundaries they never cross. On earth, offer praise to Adonai: sea monsters and ocean’s deep, lightning and hail, snow and sandstorms, raging winds obeying God’s command, hills and high mountains, fruit trees and evergreens, beasts and every kind of cattle, crawling things and winged birds, sovereigns of the world and their peoples, powerful princes and judges in the land, innocent and adolescent boys and girls, elders and youths, offer up praise to the name Adonai, for God’s name alone is to be exalted, whose splendor extends over heaven and earth. May God raise the horn of our people in praise of the faithful, the children of Israel, beloved of the Divine. Praise God, halleluyah! Citation Psalm 148
Commentary PSALM 148. As we approach the conclusion of the Book of Psalms and of the morning recitation of songs of praise, the rhythmic intensity increases. The key word halleluyah, “praise Yah,” or some other form of the root h-l-l, “praise,” appears twelve times in this psalm. Using short, rhythmic, staccato phrases, the psalmist calls upon all creatures and all parts of the universe to join in praise of the creator. The psalm is divided into two parts, which describe the fullness of praise offered in heaven and on earth. In the first part, the heavens and all that they contain are called upon to offer praise; then the earth and all its creatures are enjoined to do likewise. The psalm draws to a close with the entire human family praising God, and then ends with God’s praise of the people Israel.
Commentary FIXED THE BOUNDARIES THEY NEVER CROSS חָק־נָתַן וְלֹא יַעֲבוֹר. In this image, each sphere of heaven occupies a different level. Stars, for instance, can move within their own sphere but not above or below, lest they collide with other heavenly objects.
Commentary SANDSTORMS קִיטוֹר. The Hebrew word describes a smokelike plume rising from earth to the sky, and the context implies some condition related to weather, though the specific referent is an educated guess.
Commentary EVERGREENS אֲרָזִים. Literally “cedars,” the most sturdy evergreen in the Middle East. The contrast is critical here: fruit trees are seasonal but their produce is significant, while cedars are evergreens but produce no fruit. The idea of totality is expressed through a series of contrasts: wild and domesticated animals, rulers and subjects, young and old.
Commentary BELOVED OF THE DIVINE עַם קְרֹבוֹ. More literally, “those who are close to the Divine.”
MarginNote The Wonders of Creation Why is the sky blue? Among the wavelengths of light in the sun’s spectrum, blue oscillates at the highest frequency and is, therefore, scattered effectively by molecules of air in our atmosphere. This turns the sky blue. To me, this seems more amazing than ancient Mesopotamian and biblical beliefs that the sky is blue because of all the water up there. What science shows us about the evolution of our universe and our selves is as awesome to me as Genesis or the Kabbalah. —DANIEL MATT
