Psalms 150 WYC
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).
1The title of the hundrid and fiftithe salm. Alleluya. Herie ye the Lord in hise seyntis; herie ye hym in the firmament of his vertu.
2Herie ye hym in hise vertues; herie ye hym bi the multitude of his greetnesse.
3Herie ye hym in the soun of trumpe; herie ye hym in a sautre and harpe.
4Herie ye hym in a tympane and queer; herie ye hym in strengis and orgun.
5Herie ye hym in cymbalis sownynge wel, herye ye hym in cymbalis of iubilacioun;
6ech spirit, herye the Lord.
