Psalms 150 DBY

Summary: The Psalter's grand closing doxology, a single sustained call to praise God "in his sanctuary" and "in the firmament of his power" (v. 1), listing his "mighty acts" and "excellent greatness" as reasons for praise. It catalogs an entire orchestra of instruments to be used — trumpet, psaltery, harp, timbrel, dance, stringed instruments, organs, and "loud cymbals" and "high sounding cymbals" (v. 3-5) — leaving nothing unmentioned. It ends with the Psalter's final, all-encompassing summons: "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD" (v. 6).

1Hallelujah! PraiseGod in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.

2Praise him in his mighty acts; praise him according to the abundance of his greatness.

3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with lute and harp;

4Praise him with the tambour and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and the pipe;

5Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with high sounding cymbals.

6Let everything that hath breath praise Jah. Hallelujah!
