How to Praise God
Psalm 150
Biblical Period
1Hallelujah.
Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the sky, His stronghold.
2Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him fora His 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.
