Psalms 150:1-6 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

CL. Each book ends with a doxology. Here we have a much longer doxology, which closes Book V and the whole Psalter also. The praise of God begins from His sanctuary, i.e. probably from His sanctuary in heaven, not from the Temple on Zion.

Psalms 150:1-6

1 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:a praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance:b 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.
