Contradiction with Exodus 15:11

While Psalms 148:13 emphasizes praising God's exalted name, Exodus 15:11 highlights God's peerless holiness and majesty, which might imply His name is beyond human expression rather than simply extolled.

Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8

Psalms 148:13 encourages the exaltation of God's name alone, whereas Isaiah 42:8 asserts that God will not share His glory with another, suggesting a focus not just on praise but on His singular divinity.

Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:20

Psalms 148:13 is a call for all creation to praise God, whereas Ecclesiastes 3:20 reminds us of the mortality and insignificance of man, which can contrast with the grandeur suggested in the Psalm.
