Thou, even thou art Lord alone, etc.] Whose name alone is Jehovah, the one only true and living God: thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host; the airy and starry heavens, and the sun, moon, and stars in them, and the third heaven, the seat of God, angels, and saints: the earth, and all things that are therein; men, beasts, trees, metals, minerals, etc. the seas, and all that is therein; fishes, sea plants, etc. (see <440424>Acts 4:24), and thou preservest them all; they consist in thee, and are upheld in their being by thee, (<580103>Hebrews 1:3 <510117>Colossians 1:17 <193606>Psalm 36:6) and the host of heaven worshipped thee; not the sun, moon, and stars, only in their way, (<19E802>Psalm 148:2,3) but the angels chiefly, (<580106>Hebrews 1:6).
