Praise Yahweh from the earth, You great sea creatures, and all depths!
Verse Takeaways
1
All Creation Must Praise
Commentators explain that the psalm shifts its focus from the heavens to the earth, calling on every part of the terrestrial world to praise God. This includes even the most mysterious and remote creatures, like the 'sea-monsters' (likely whales or other large sea animals) and everything in the 'deeps' of the ocean. This demonstrates that no part of creation is excluded from the universal chorus of praise.
