Albert Barnes Commentary
"Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens." — Psalms 148:13 (ASV)
Let them praise the name of the Lord — Let them praise Yahweh — the name often representing the person.
For his name alone is excellent — The margin, as in Hebrew, reads "exalted." He only is exalted as God. See the notes at Psalms 8:1: O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
His glory is above the earth and heaven — Compare the notes at Psalms 113:4: The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. See also the notes at Psalms 8:1: Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
