7. Psalm 150  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary:
Praise him in the firmament of his pow'r
Praise him for his mighty acts:
Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
Praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals
Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord.
