Psalm 150
1Hallelujah.
Praise God in His sanctuary;
praise Him in the sky, His stronghold.
2Praise Him for His mighty acts;
praise Him foraHis exceeding greatness.
3Praise Him with blasts of the horn;
praise Him with harp and lyre.
4Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with lute and pipe.
5Praise Him with resounding cymbals;
praise Him with loud-clashing cymbals.
6Let all that breathes praise the Lord.
Hallelujah.
