Psalms 148:7

[Verses 7-12 belong together as a unit. In verses 1-4, seven heavenly actors were presented who praised God from heaven. Now, in a similar way, praise from earth follows. A total of 23 individual classes are mentioned, which can be grouped into seven categories. The list is given at a rapid pace, and the word "praise" does not recur between each listing as it did for the heavenly entities. The enumeration begins with the invisible and unknown and becomes more and more concrete, ending with the crown of creation, man, see Ps. 8:6–7.]
Praise the Lord (Yahweh) from the earth:
[The seas:]
You great sea creatures (sea monsters)
and all the depths.
[Immediately after the earthly domain is presented, two terms are mentioned: tanninim and tehomot. Instead of following the more common division into three parts with sea, earth, and sky, the seas and depths are included in the earthly domain. The Hebrew tanninim is the same word used in creation for the great sea creatures, see Gen. 1:21. The word is also used in connection with Leviathan and has mythological undertones describing the unknown and even evil, see Ps. 74:13–14; 104:26; Job 3:8; 39:20–40:25; Rev 12:3. The second Hebrew word translated as "depths" is the same word used in Gen. 1:2. It can refer to everything created in the sea, see Gen. 1:20.]
