Psalms 148:4

A church father on this verse
“The Persians therefore may call the "whole circle of heaven" Jupiter; but we maintain that "the heaven" is neither Jupiter nor God, as we indeed know that certain beings of a class inferior to God have ascended above the heavens and all visible nature: and in this sense we understand the words, "Praise God, you heaven…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — AGAINST CELSUS 5:44
