Hallelujah! Praise God in the holy temple; praise God in the mighty firmament. Praise God for mighty acts; praise God for exceeding greatness. Praise God with trumpet sound; praise God with lyre and harp. Praise God with tambourine and dance; praise God with strings and pipe. Praise God with resounding cymbals; praise God with loud-clanging cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah! --Psalm 150
