Origen, on Ps 148:4

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Ps 148:4 · Douay-Rheims
“Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens”
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 of heavens, and you waters that are above the heavens; let them praise the name of the Lord."”
