Psalm 103:20
βBless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 103Meaning
Within βUniversal reign and universal praise,β verse 20 calls mighty angels who obey God's word to join the blessing of the LORD; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 103:20 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 103; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.
Reflection
Respond to the verse's specific emphasis β calls mighty angels who obey God's word to join the blessing of the LORD β while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 103.
