Hosts. — There are apparently in the psalmist’s thought three grades of beings in the hierarchy of praise: —

1.

High angels around the throne.

2.

Angelic powers, such as winds, lightnings, &c, specially commissioned to do God’s behests, as in Psalms 104:4.

3.

Creation generally. (Comp. Psalms 148)
