Contextual Overview

30 I will praise God's name in song. I will honor him by giving him thanks. 31 The Lord will be happier with this than with the offering of an ox or a full-grown bull as a sacrifice. 32 Poor people, you came to worship God. You will be happy to know these things. 33 The Lord listens to poor, helpless people. He does not turn away from those who are in prison. 34 Praise him, heaven and earth! Sea and everything in it, praise him! 35 God will save Zion. He will rebuild the cities of Judah. The people will settle there again and own the land. 36 The descendants of his servants will get that land. Those who love his name will live there.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let the heaven and earth praise him,.... As those, by a prosopopoeia, are often called upon to do, to express the greatness of the favour enjoyed, and to excite those that are possessed of it to greater joy and thankfulness; see Psalms 96:11; or the inhabitants of the heavens and earth may be meant, as the angels of heaven; and so the Targum interprets it; who, as they praised the Lord at the incarnation of Christ, Luke 2:14; so doubtless they did at his ascension, when he was seen and accompanied by them, 1 Timothy 3:16

Psalms 68:17; and also the spirits of just men made perfect in heaven, who were there when Christ was received into it; and the inhabitants of the earth, as the Targum also paraphrases it; of the continent, particularly the Roman empire, when the Gospel was sent thither, which brought the good news of an incarnate, suffering, risen, ascended, and exalted Saviour;

the seas, and everything that moveth therein; the inhabitants of the isles in the seas, such as ours of Great Britain and Ireland, who waited for the doctrine of the Messiah, and to whom he calls to listen to what he says; and which is a sufficient reason for praise and thanksgiving in them; even in as many as have spiritual life and motion, who are quickened, influenced, and moved by the Spirit of God; see Isaiah 42:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let the heaven and earth praise him - All things; all above and all below.

The seas - The waters - the oceans. This is in accordance with what often occurs in the Scriptures, when all things, animate and inanimate, are called on to praise God. Compare Psalms 148:1-14.

And everything that moveth therein - Margin, as in Hebrew, “creepeth.” Compare the notes at Psalms 8:8. See also the notes at Isaiah 55:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 69:34. Let the heaven and earth praise him — The psalmist has the fullest confidence that God will turn their captivity, and therefore calls upon all creatures to magnify him for his mercy.
