Psalms 150
Six verses, thirteen calls to praise, and almost nothing else. This is the Psalter's final word — a doxology that asks where (sanctuary, heavens), why (his mighty acts, his greatness), how (an entire orchestra), and who (everything that breathes). The instrument list runs trumpet, harp, lyre, tambourine, strings, flute, then two grades of cymbal. The last line widens past Israel to all living breath, then stops on a single closing "Praise the LORD."
- 1
Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary! Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power!
- 2
Praise him for his mighty acts! Praise him according to his excellent greatness!
- 3
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet! Praise him with harp and lyre!
- 4
Praise him with tambourine and dancing! Praise him with stringed instruments and flute!
- 5
Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with resounding cymbals!
- 6
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
- 1
Louvem o SENHOR! Louvem a Deus em seu santuário! Louvem-no nos seus céus pelos seus atos de poder!
- 2
Louvem-no por seus feitos poderosos! Louvem-no conforme a sua excelente grandeza!
- 3
Louvem-no ao som da trombeta! Louvem-no com harpa e lira!
- 4
Louvem-no com tamborim e dança! Louvem-no com instrumentos de cordas e flauta!
- 5
Louvem-no com címbalos sonoros! Louvem-no com címbalos ressoantes!
- 6
Tudo o que tem fôlego louve o SENHOR! Louvem o SENHOR!
The shape of the last psalm
Each clause is "Praise him" plus one detail, building by accumulation rather than argument. Place gives way to reason (v.2), reason to instruments (vv.3-5), and instruments to the loudest crash — "resounding cymbals" — before the volume drops to one quiet imperative.
It closes not just this psalm but the whole book. The "breath" of verse 6 echoes the creature-list of 148; here no creature is named because every breathing thing is summoned at once.
