New Living Translation NLT
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 heaven!
2 Praise him for his acts of power, praise him for his magnificent greatness;
2
Praise him for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness!
3 Praise with a blast on the trumpet, praise by strumming soft strings;
3
Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horn; praise him with the lyre and harp!
4 Praise him with castanets and dance, praise him with banjo and flute;
4
Praise him with the tambourine and dancing; praise him with strings and flutes!
5 Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum, praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
5
Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
6 Let every living, breathing creature praise God! Hallelujah!
6
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD ! Praise the LORD !
