He gave a decree that will never pass away

Psalm 148:1-14
God set all sun, moon, stars, heavens in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away.
Let them(all creatures) praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart.
The psalm calls on everything there is to praise its Creator; the angels in heaven; sun, moon and stars; the earth and its creatures; the elements; the wild and the tame; kings and all people everywhere.
And who should praise him like his own? It is his saints and the people close to his heart.
Horn: meaning God has given them strength and power.
Why?
God set everything in place so the world has order to run ever and ever.
Only the name of God above earth and heavens. His glory and splendor above all.
God gives us the strength and power so we can face the difficulty and suffering, we may be free from the dead and be blessed through the Holy Spirit.
How?
Praise the Lord, his name is exalted. May more people come close to his heart!
