Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 150

1 PRaise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary : praise him in the firmament of his power .

In his Temple, where this work was to be performed constantly and solemnly. Or, who dwelleth in his Sanctuary, So it describeth and limiteth the object of their praises. Or. for (as this particle is used in the next verse) his Sanctuary, for this great favour of placing his Sanctuary and dwelling place amongst men.

In his heavenly mansion, there let the blessed Angels praise him. Or, who dwelleth in the firmament, or spreading forth of his power, to wit, in the Heavens which were stretched out by his great power, and in which are the most glorious testimonies of his infinite power. Or, for the firmament, &c. for that glorious and astonishing piece of his workmanship.

Marginal references: Heb. Hallelujah.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness .

As his infinite Majesty deserves to be praised.

Marginal references: Psal. 145. 5, 6.

6 Let every thing that hath breath , praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Every living creature in heaven and in earth, [illegible: 1 word]. 5. 13. according to their several capacities, some objectively, others actively, as was noted before.
