You are the LORD, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Of heavens. The highest, ( Calmet.) and most glorious ( Bible.) residence of the Eternal.—Host. Stars ( Calmet.) and angels, ( Menochius.) which are like his guards.—Life, or being. If the Levites had adopted the sentiments of the Persians, that the stars were animated, this does not prove the truth of that opinion, which has nevertheless been maintained by many. Genesis 1:18. Calmet.—The expression is used for preserving, (Psalms 40:3. Menochius.) re-establishing, and so forth Calmet. 4:2. Calmet.
