Psalms 150

1Praise ye Jehovah. 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 trumpet sound: Praise him with psaltery and harp. 4Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals. 6Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah.
