Joe: Alright, so what can you tell us about Psalms 148?

Bible Expert: Well, it's a psalm of praise to God. The psalm begins with a call to praise God, who is glorified in heaven, and to praise God's name. The psalm then moves on to call for praise from all of creation - the heavens, the clouds, the mountains, the sea, the creatures of the sea, the birds, the wild animals, the kings of the earth, the princes, the judges, the young men, and the old men. All are called to praise the Lord.

Joe: Wow! That's awesome! So why is everyone praising the Lord?

Bible Expert: Well, it's because God has made a decree that will stand forever, and his name will be praised throughout all generations. He has established his throne in the heavens and his kingdom rules over all. He is the one who created the heavens, the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them. He is the one who gives strength and power to his people, and his mighty works are to be praised.

Joe: That's great! So then what comes after that?

Bible Expert: The psalm ends with a call to praise the Lord and to bless his name. It also emphasizes the importance of being obedient to the Lord's commands. The psalm ends with the phrase "Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted."
