PSALM 150 We Come

PSALM 150  KJV
Praise ye the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary:
Praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him in his mighty acts:
Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
Praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
Praise him with stringed instruments and organs
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD.

In Psalm 150 we each come to love the LORD our God
with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind.

It is wonderful that, in prayer, although we come as members
of God,s covenant community and as members of the body of Christ,
we come as individuals before our personal compassionate God,
who lays his hands on each remembered head.

Across His mighty firmament, His divine touch  gives life
and purpose to each beautiful created being.

Hallelujah,  means   Praise ye the LORD.
Ye, means you personally.

We come in awe before the mystery of God
who formed us on the palm of His hand.
In this holy place we are sanctified by His presence.

Music sometimes helps us to express ourselves more deeply
and with more feeling than with words alone.
Psalm 150 invites us to come before the Lord
united in song, accompanied by gifted, inspired musicians,
to express our heartfelt praise.
One in the Spirit and in harmony with heavenly choirs,
our praise is inhabited by the presence of God.

Psalm 150  NAB
Alleluia
Praise the LORD in his sanctuary,
   praise him in the firmament of his strength
Praise him for his mighty deeds,
   praise him for his sovereign majesty.
Praise him with the blast of the trumpet,
   praise him with lyre and harp,
Praise him with timbrel and dance,
   praise him with strings and pipe.
Praise him with sounding cymbals,
   praise him with clanging cymbals.
Let everything that has breath
   praise the LORD! Alleluia.
