Psalm 150 1 Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy place. Praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him for his immense greatness. 3 Praise him with sounds from horns. Praise him with harps and lyres. 4 Praise him with tambourines and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and lutes. 5 Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with crashing cymbals. 6 Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
