Psalm 150
From The Book of Psalms in Metre (1644)
PRaise, praise the Lord most high,
Within his Sanctu'rie:
In topmost tow'r
Of his great pow'r,
With praise him magnifie.
Praise him for acts renown'd,
With excellency crown'd:
According to
His greatness do:
Praise him with trumpets sound.
O praise him cheerfully,
With harp and psaltery:
And let the dance
His praise advance,
And timbrells melody.
Praise him with joynt consents
Of stringed instruments:
The organs bring,
Lowd cimballs ring,
Each one his praise presents.
High-sounding cymballs ring,
Let every breathing thing,
The praise record
Of this great Lord:
And HALLELUJAH sing.
