Psalms for Today - Psalm 150 Praise the Lord

Psalm 150 Praise the Lord.Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

A perfect pitch to sing your praise

And with a clarion note to raise,

With concert harmony, I crave 

That I might honour you who gave

The melody of love’s own chant,

Flanked by angelic song’s descant.

With harp and lyre, the cymbal crash

To sing your praise is all I ask,

And in this symphony of praise,

An anthem with creation raise;

As timbrel, pipe, and dance and string

The gathered host your praises sing.

Lord tune my heart to your own will

As with your breathe my lungs you fill -

More ready there to sing my part

That through your purpose I may chart

The glorious chorus earth and heaven

Proclaim the graciousness you’ve given.

“Even if God never did another good thing in our lives, we could spend the rest of this life praising Him for what He has already done.” ― Dillon Burroughs, Activist Faith: From Him and For Him
