Psalms 148:7
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
7. Praise the Lord from the earth. The song descends to our abode, and so comes nearer home to us. We who are “bodies terrestrial” are to pour out our portion of praise. Jehovah is to be praised not only in the earth from from the earth, as if the adoration ran over from this planet into the general accumulation of worship. In the first verse the song was “from the heavens”; here it is “from the earth”: songs coming down from heaven are to blend with those going up from earth. The earth here meant is our entire globe of land and water. Ye dragons, and all deeps. It would be idle to inquire what special sea-monsters are here meant; but we believe all of them are intended, and the places where they abide are indicated by all deeps. Terrible beasts or fishes, whether they roam the earth or swim the seas, are bidden to the feast of praise.
