From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Praise ye the Lord -See the notes atPsalms 146:1. Praise God in his sanctuary -His holy place; the place where he dwells. The allusion here is, probably, to the temple, the place of his abode on earth. Praise him in the firmament of his power -The whole expression is equivalent to earth and heaven; Praise him on earth; praise him in heaven. The word rendered firmament is the same which is used inGenesis 1:6. It properly means an expanse - a thing spread out. The verb from which the word is derived means to beat; then, to beat out - that is, to spread out by beating, as gold is; and then, simply to spread out, to expand. ComparePsalms 136:6;Isaiah 42:5;Isaiah 44:24.
