Psalms 150

1Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: praise ye him in the firmament of his power. 2Praise ye him for his mighty acts: praise ye him according to the multitude of his greatness. 3Praise him with sound of trumpet: praise him with psaltery and harp. 4Praise him with timbrel and choir: praise him with strings and organs. 5Praise him on high sounding cymbals: praise him on cymbals of joy: 6let every spirit praise the Lord. Alleluia.
