Clarke's Psalms 69:34 Bible Commentary

Let the heaven and earth praise him - The psalmist has the fullest confidence that God will turn their captivity, and therefore calls upon all creatures to magnify him for his mercy.

Barnes's Psalms 69:34 Bible Commentary

Let the heaven and earth praise him - All things; all above and all below.

The seas - The waters - the oceans. This is in accordance with what often occurs in the Scriptures, when all things, animate and inanimate, are called on to praise God. Compare Psalm 148:1-14.

And everything that moveth therein - Margin, as in Hebrew, "creepeth." Compare the notes at Psalm 8:8. See also the notes at Isaiah 55:12.
