150 1 An exhortation to praise the Lord without cease by all manner of ways for all his mighty and wonderful works.

Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye God in his [a]Sanctuary: praise ye him in the [b]firmament of his power.

Praise ye him in his mighty Acts: praise ye him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise ye him in the sound of the [c]trumpet: praise ye him upon the viol and the harp.

Praise ye him with timbrel and flute: praise ye him with virginals and organs.

Praise ye him with sounding cymbals: praise ye him with high sounding cymbals.

Let everything that hath [d]breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
