1 [Psalm 150] The psalm is a closing doxology both for the fifth book of the Psalms (Psalm 150:107-149) and for the Psalter as a whole. Temple musicians and dancers are called to lead all beings on earth and in heaven in praise of God. The psalm proclaims to whom praise shall be given, and where (⇒ Psalm 150:1); what praise shall be given, and why (⇒ Psalm 150:2); how praise shall be given (⇒ Psalm 150:3-5), and by whom (⇒ Psalm 150:6).
2 [1] His holy sanctuary: God’s temple on earth. The mighty dome of the heavens: literally, “[God’s] strong vault”; heaven is here imagined as a giant plate separating the inhabited world from the waters of the heavens.
