4 Praise him with the tambour and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and the pipe;
Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.
Jehovah was [purposed] to save me. -- And we will play upon my stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of Jehovah.
They shout to the tambour and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of weepers.
Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

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!
