Psalm 150:

Praise ye, the Lord, Praise God in his Sanctuary, praise him in the firmament
Praise him for his mighty acts; praise him according to his excellent greatness
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with the psaltery and harp
Praise him with the timbrel and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and organs
Praise him upon the loud cymbals; praise him upon the high-sounding cymbals
Let every thing that breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Augustus Pablo""
