What is the context?
God’s heavenly throne and universal rule widen the closing summons. Angels and servants who do His will are called to bless Him.
The invitation reaches all His works wherever He rules. The speaker then returns to the opening call to his own soul.
The movement joins one person’s gratitude with a much larger praise. Personal devotion is not presented as the boundary of God’s concern or dominion.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley understands the hosts through the angels’ numbers, strength, and ordered service. The psalm gives no full classification of heavenly ranks or instructions for directing them through private commands.
