1 Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy house of worship, praise him under the open skies;
|
1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
|
|
2 Praise him for his acts of power, praise him for his magnificent greatness;
|
2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
|
|
3 Praise with a blast on the trumpet, praise by strumming soft strings;
|
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
|
|
4 Praise him with castanets and dance, praise him with banjo and flute;
|
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,
|
|
5 Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum, praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
|
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
|
|
6 Let every living, breathing creature praise God! Hallelujah!
|
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
