LYRICS:
O praise God in his holiness: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him in his noble acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Laudate Dominum in sanctis eius: laudate eum in firmamento virtutis eius.
Praise him in the sound of the trumpet: praise him upon the lute and harp.
Laudate Dominum, laudate, laudate.
Praise him in the cymbals and dances: praise him upon the strings and pipe.
Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals: praise him upon the loud cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath: praise the Lord.
Alleluia, amen.
(Psalm 150, BCP version, Latin verses from the Vulgate)
