In Psalm 148.13 this morning. I take the Psalmist to mean that the name of the Lord is exalted above every name to the point where it is the only name exalted. The reason for this is then stated his majesty is above earth and heaven. His majesty is above earth and heaven because he created them. This is why it is so foolish to worship the sun, moon, stars, or man (like the modern world). There is something far greater than creation in the universe, the creator of the universe.
This agrees completely with Paul: “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.” (Rom 1:20-23 ESV)
