Psalms 150

1Praise you 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 tambourine and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5Praise him on the loud cymbals: praise him on the high sounding cymbals. 6Let every thing that has breath praise the LORD. Praise you the LORD.
