The created order is stable because of the Lord's word (see Psalm 33:9).

This psalm calls for the whole created order to praise the Lord because he has honored his faithful people.

The Psalter ends with five hallelujah psalms, so named because each begins and ends with Praise the LORD! (Hebrew haleluyah).
