1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to God in his holy place: give him praise in the heaven of his power.
2 Give him praise for his acts of power: give him praise in the measure of his great strength.
3 Give him praise with the sound of the horn: give him praise with corded instruments of music.
4 Give him praise with instruments of brass and in the dance: give him praise with horns and corded instruments.
5 Give him praise with the loud brass: give him praise with the high-sounding brass.
6 Let everything which has breath give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised.

PSALM 150
Ps 150:1-6. This is a suitable doxology for the whole book, reciting the "place, theme, mode, and extent of God's high praise."
1. in his sanctuary—on earth.
firmament of his power—which illustrates His power.
2. mighty acts—(Ps 145:4).
excellent greatness—or, abundance of greatness.
3, 4. trumpet—used to call religious assemblies;
4. organs—or pipe, a wind instrument, and the others were used in worship.
5. cymbals—suited to loud praise (Ne 12:27).
6. Living voices shall take up the failing sounds of dead instruments, and as they cease on earth, those of intelligent ransomed spirits and holy angels, as with the sound of mighty thunders, will prolong eternally the praise, saying: "Alleluia! Salvation, and Glory, and Honor, and Power, unto the Lord our God;" "Alleluia! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." Amen!
