Guiding Questions: Psalms 148

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

In this Psalm of Praise, at what point does the author begin — with humanity or otherwise?
In Psalms 148:4 reference is made to the “waters that are above the heavens”; reading the first chapter of Genesis what was the notion which the ancients had of “sky” and above?
Is the universe subject to change (Psalms 148:6)?
What is the second of category of elements that praise the Divine (Psalms 148:7-10)?
And, finally, in Psalms 148:11-13 who “completes” the praising of God?
But, in the final refrain who is most praiseworthy and closest (Psalms 148:14)?
