103:20-22 Let All Creation Join in Blessing the Lord. After listing all these benefits, the psalm returns to urging various creatures to bless the Lord, echoing vv. 1-2. The addressees go beyond the individual "soul" to include the angels and mighty ones (vv. 20-21) and even the material creation (all his works, in all places of his dominion; cf. v. 19). The overflow of goodness and steadfast love that God's works reveal compels his people to call on the angels and all of nature (cf. 19:1) to join in their celebration. The song closes with the singer returning to urge his own soul to bless the Lord, with a deeper appreciation of how much praise and admiration he owes.
