Psalm 149:1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
3 Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
Psalm 150:1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
It is fitting that the last two psalms would close the book with high praise. They are a call to praise God as our Creator and King. There is much for which to praise Him: what He has done, and even more so for Who He is. There is also much with which to praise Him: stringed instruments, rhythm instruments, wind instruments, and most of all, our very breath. Today, may we all, with all we have and are, Praise the Lord!
