“Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his might heaven!
Praise him for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness!
Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horns; praise with with the lyre and the harp!
Praise him with the tambourine and dancing; praise him with strings and flutes!
Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!” (NLT)
