Psalm 150
Words: Brady and Tate, A New Version of the Psalms of David
1 O Praise the Lord in that blest place,
from whence his goodness largely flows;
Praise him in heav'n, where his face
unveiled in perfect glory shows.
2 Praise him for all the mighty acts
which he in our behalf hath done;
His kindness this return exacts,
with which our praise should equal run.
3 Let the shrill trumpet's warlike voice
make rocks and hills his praise rebound;
Praise him with harp's melodious noise,
and gentle psalt'ry's silver sound.
4 Let virgin troops soft timbrels bring,
and some with graceful motion dance;
Let instruments of various strings,
with organs joined, his praise advance.
5 Let them, who joyful hymns compose,
to cymbals set their songs of praise,
Cymbals of common use, and those
that loudly sound on solemn days.
6 Let all that vital breath enjoy,
the breath he does to them afford
in just returns of praise employ:
let ev'ry creature praise the Lord.
