Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bess the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength. Finding his work of praise growing upon his hands, he calls upon "the firstborn sons of light" to speak the praises of the Lord, as well they may, for as Milton says, they best can tell.
He is supra-mundane King, all-ruling, able to show such grace to His own. The church on earth stands in living fellowship with the angels of God, possessed of dignity rising above all created things. These strong ones spend their heroic strength entirely in obedient execution of His word; hearing His call, they forthwith put it into action as His servants without number.

Commenting on Psalm 103:19-22
David teaches every godly person to thank God first for mercies granted to himself, then for the grace He has given to all His chosen ones through covenant. The Psalmist chiefly magnifies God's mercy in bearing with His people, not because they deserve it, but because He takes pity on their weakness.
