Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Psalms 150:1-6.-Three strophes of two verses each. The first, where, and on what account, praise is to be given; the third, wherewith it is to be given-with all that have voice or sound. A doxology of thirteen "Hallelujahs" to the whole collection of Psalms.
Praise God in his sanctuary (in His temple on earth: in contrast to) praise him in the firmament of his power - (Compare Psalms 68:33-34, "His, strength is in the clouds" - margin, 'heavens.' His earthly sanctuary corresponds to the heavenly "expanse" (so the Hebrew for "firmament" means х raaqiya` (H7549)]), wherein especially He displays His might and glory (Psalms 19:1).
