The psalm concludes with a grand call for all of God's works, everywhere, to bless Him. Commentators explain that this universal summons is immediately followed by a personal one: "Bless the Lord, O my soul." This structure teaches that while all creation praises God, your individual voice is essential. You are personally invited to join the unending song of the universe.
