Psalms148:2

2 Praise ye him all his Angels : praise ye him all his hosts .

He inviteth the Angels here, and the senseless creatures afterward, to praise God, not as if the former needed, or the latter were capable of, his exhortation, but onely by a Poetical rapture, the design whereof is, that men by this means might be more provoked to this duty.

The Angels, called hosts, here and 1 Kings 22. 19. for their vast numbers, exquisite order, and perfect subjection to their General, the Lord of hosts.

Marginal references: Psal. 103. 20, 21.
