Psalm 150King James Version (KJV)

150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

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 psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Way, way back when I went to a Lutheran youth camp for a couple of weeks every summer, one of the things I remember doing was putting this Psalm to music as part of an exercise. We used the tune from the then-current hit "Little Bit of Soul". I can still sing it today. "You gotta praise God in His sanctuary [praise the Lord, praise the Lord] You gotta praise Him in the firmament [praise the Lord, praise the Lord]..." :)
