140. Psalm 150

1 Oh, praise the Lord in that blest Place
From whence his Goodness largely flows;
Praise him in Heav'n, where now his face
Unveil'd, in perfect glory shows.

2. Praise him for all his mighty acts,
Which he in our behalf has done;
His Kindness this return exacts,
With which our praise should equal run.

3. Let him the 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 youthful troops soft timbrels bring,
And some with graceful motion dance;
Let instruments of various strings,
With organs joined, his praise advance.

5. Let them with 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 who vital breath enjoy,
The breath he does to them afford,
In just returns of praise employ;
Let ev'ry creature praise the Lord.
