Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
God's power, goodness, and wisdom are written everywhere, so His praises ought to resound from every corner of creation. Angels and stars, dumb elements and brute beasts, all declare Him. Yet most men are both blind to His works and silent in His praise; only Israel, given His special revelation, can truly speak for the world.

Commenting on Psalm 148:1-14
Praise ye him, all his angels. Living intelligences, perfect in character and in bliss, lift up your loudest music to your Lord, each one, of you. Not one bright spirit is exempted from this consecrated service. However many ye be, O angels, ye are all his angels, and therefore ye are bound, all of you, to render service to your Lord.
We, in this dark and depressed world, know but little of the world of light and exaltation, and, conversing within narrow confines, can scarcely admit any tolerable conceptions of the vast regions above. But this we know, I. That there is above us a world of blessed angels by whom God is praised, an innumerable company of them.
