Psalm 150

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Versions and Paraphrases of Select Psalms · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)

Religion

Praise the Lord, who reigns above,
And keeps His court below;
Praise the holy God of love;

And all His greatness show!
Praise Him for His noble deeds.

Praise Him for His matchless power;
Him, from whom all good proceeds.

Let earth and heaven adore.
Publish, spread to all around
The great Jehovah's name;
Let the tnnnpet's martial sound
The Lord of hosts proclaim!
Praise Him in the sacred dance,
Harmony's full concert raise;
Let the virgin-choir advance.

And move but to His praise.
Celebrate the' eternal God
With harp and psaltery;
Timbrels soft, and cymbals loud.

In His high praise agree;
Praise Him every tuneful string,
All the reach of heavenly art;
All the power of music bring,
The music of the heart.
Him in whom they move and live,
Let every creature sing;
Glory to their Maker give.

And homage to their King!
Hallow'd be His name beneath.

As in heaven on earth adored;
Praise the Lord in every breath;
Let all things praise the Lord!
