Psalm 150

¹Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song—His praise in the assembly of the godly.

²Lift up your hands to the sanctuary and bless the Lord!

¹⁸I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people,

¹⁹in the courts of the Lord’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

⁹The voice of the Lord twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

³Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

¹And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.

²⁴“O Lord God, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

¹⁷“Oh, Lord God! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!

¹⁸You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the Lord of Hosts,

³Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.

⁵the glorious splendor of Your majesty. And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.

⁶They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.

³and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

⁴Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

⁴For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

²Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.

³Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

⁵Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, in melodious song with the harp.

⁶With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

²Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.

³Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.

³with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

²Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

²⁰The Lord will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

³Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

²⁰Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.

⁹I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—

³with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

³¹My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.

¹⁶David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.

¹Additionally, David and the commanders of the army set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. The following is the list of the men who performed this service:

²⁸So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.

⁶All these were under the direction of their fathers for the music of the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.

⁵Asaph was the chief, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They were to play the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals

²¹My mouth will declare the praise of the Lord; let every creature bless His holy name forever and ever.

¹³And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!”

²²Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

¹⁰All You have made will give You thanks, O Lord, and Your saints will bless You.
