Psalms 150 GNV

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).

1Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye God in his Sanctuarie: prayse ye him in the firmament of his power.

2Prayse ye him in his mightie Actes: prayse ye him according to his excellent greatnesse.

3Prayse ye him in the sounde of the trumpet: prayse yee him vpon the viole and the harpe.

4Prayse ye him with timbrell and flute: praise ye him with virginales and organs.

5Prayse ye him with sounding cymbales: prayse ye him with high sounding cymbales.

6Let euery thing that hath breath prayse the Lord. Prayse ye the Lord.
