Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| The call on the universe for praise is well sustained by the prediction of the perpetual and extended blessings which shall come upon the covenant-people of God. Though, as usual, the imagery is taken from terms used of Palestine, the whole tenor of the context indicates that the spiritual privileges and blessings of the Church are meant. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Let the heaven and earth praise him - All things; all above and all below.
The seas - The waters - the oceans. This is in accordance with what often occurs in the Scriptures, when all things, animate and inanimate, are called on to praise God. Compare Psa 148:1-14.
And everything that moveth therein - Margin, as in Hebrew, "creepeth." Compare the notes at Psa 8:8. See also the notes at Isa 55:12. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Let the heaven and earth praise him - The psalmist has the fullest confidence that God will turn their captivity, and therefore calls upon all creatures to magnify him for his mercy. |

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
