Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; to whatever race of creatures ye may belong, for ye are all his troops, and he is the Generallissimo of all your armies. The fowl of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the sea, should all unite in praising their Creator, after the best of their ability.
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.

Commenting on Psalm 103:1-22
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.
