The heavens and the earth are often used in Scripture to represent the entirety of creation (<a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>). This reflects the biblical theme that all creation is designed to glorify God (<a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a>). The call for heaven and earth to praise God emphasizes His dominion over all things, both seen and unseen. In the context of <a href="/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, which is a lament, this phrase serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority and the hope that His justice and righteousness will prevail. The idea of creation praising God is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus states that if people remain silent, the stones will cry out (<a href="/luke/19-40.htm">Luke 19:40</a>).<p><b>the seas and everything that moves in them</b><br>The mention of the seas and their inhabitants highlights the vastness and diversity of God's creation. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the sea often symbolized chaos and danger, yet here it is called to praise God, indicating His power over even the most tumultuous elements of nature. This reflects the biblical narrative of God bringing order out of chaos, as seen in the creation account (<a href="/genesis/1-2.htm">Genesis 1:2</a>). The seas and their creatures are also a testament to God's creativity and provision, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/104-25.htm">Psalm 104:25-26</a>. This phrase can be seen as a foreshadowing of the eschatological vision in Revelation, where every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth praises God (<a href="/revelation/5-13.htm">Revelation 5:13</a>). The inclusion of all creatures in this call to praise underscores the comprehensive scope of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ, who reconciles all things to Himself (<a href="/colossians/1-20.htm">Colossians 1:20</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/heaven_and_earth.htm">Heaven and Earth</a></b><br>Represents the entirety of creation, both the celestial and terrestrial realms, called to worship God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_seas.htm">The Seas</a></b><br>Symbolic of the vast and mysterious parts of creation, often representing chaos and the unknown, yet under God's sovereign control.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/all_that_moves_in_them.htm">All that Moves in Them</a></b><br>Refers to all living creatures within the seas, emphasizing the inclusivity of creation in the act of worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/universal_call_to_worship.htm">Universal Call to Worship</a></b><br>All of creation is called to praise God, highlighting His sovereignty and the rightful response of worship from every part of His creation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>The inclusion of the seas and all that moves in them underscores God's control over even the most chaotic and mysterious parts of creation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/i/inclusivity_in_worship.htm">Inclusivity in Worship</a></b><br>The call for all creatures to praise God reminds us of the inclusivity of God's kingdom and the unity of all creation in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/reflecting_creation's_praise.htm">Reflecting Creation's Praise</a></b><br>As humans, made in the image of God, we are to lead in worship, reflecting the praise that all creation offers to the Creator.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/e/environmental_stewardship.htm">Environmental Stewardship</a></b><br>Recognizing the call for creation to praise God can inspire us to care for the environment, ensuring that all parts of creation can fulfill their purpose in glorifying God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_69.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 69</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'the_heavens_declare'_mean.htm">What does 'The heavens declare the glory of God' mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'neither_do_i_condemn_you'_mean.htm">What does 'Heaven is God's throne' signify?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_146_6_align_with_science.htm">In Psalm 146:6, how can creation by God be reconciled with modern scientific theories about the universe's origins?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/key_themes_of_psalms.htm">What are the key themes of the Book of Psalms?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/69.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 34.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moveth therein</span> (comp. <a href="/psalms/96-11.htm">Psalm 96:11</a>).
