mimic the mighty

Psalm 103:20-22 (JDV)

Psalm 103:20 Bless Yahveh, all his agents of great strength, who do his word, obedient to his command.
Psalm 103:21 Bless Yahveh, all his armies, his servants who do his will.
Psalm 103:22 Bless Yahveh, all the things he has made in all the places where he rules. My throat, bless Yahveh!

This passage calls on three mighty groups to bless the creator: his angelic agents, the armies at his command, and all his creatures and creations. But all three of these groups are described as already blessing God with their obedience to him. It remains for me — my throat — to follow their lead. Wouldn’t it be wise for me to look at all this obedience and do the same?
