“Kings of the earth!
All peoples!
Princes!
All rulers of the earth!
Young men!
Women!
Old men!
Children!
Let them praise the name of Yahweh!
His name alone is exalted!
His glory is above earth and heaven.
He has raised up a horn for his people.
He wants praise for all his faithful.
The people of Israel are close to him.
Praise Yahweh!”
Every person should praise Yahweh. This included the kings, princes and all the rulers of the earth. Besides them, both the young and the old men as well as women and children should praise Yahweh. His name should be exalted above very other name. He has given to his people the horn of plenty. He also wants praise from the people of Israel who are near to him. This psalm ends with the appropriate phrase “praise Yahweh,” another way of saying alleluia, the Hebrew “Hallelujah.”
