Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
About Psalm 150
The Psalter's last word is pure doxology: praise God in his sanctuary... for his mighty acts... according to his excellent greatness. Where, why, how, and who — the shortest catechism of worship ever written.
The orchestra assembles — trumpet, psaltery, harp, timbrel, dance, stringed instruments, organs, loud and high-sounding cymbals — and the book that began with one blessed man meditating ends with everything that breathes commanded to sing: let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
