Psalms 148:13

All creation, come praise the name of the LORD. Praise his name alone. The glory of God is greater than heaven and earth. (Psalms 148:13)

Three points:

1. All Creation.

Think everything. This is all material things. Can mountains, trees, cats, cows, or ants praise God? That would be literalism. By the plain, normal reading of Scripture we would understand this to mean not by voice but literary device that everything in creation shows the greatness of God.

2. His name alone.

There is no other creator, God, Savior. His name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--Yahweh. Let us give no other our worship.

3. God's glory.

There is no words in human language to express God's glory. We see the glory of leaders, the rich, the powerful, sunsets, space, etc, but that in no way can even get close to have us understand God's glory.
