Psalm 150:1-6 (NKJV) 1 Praise the LORD Psalm 150:1-6 (NKJV) 1  Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! 2  Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! 3  Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! 4  Praise Him with the tambourine and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! 5  Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! 6  Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
