Psalm 150 (Praise the Lord)

Keith and Kristyn Getty, Matt Boswell and Matt Papa retell the last psalm in “Psalm 150 (Praise the Lord).” The verses move through creation first: “You made the starry hosts, You traced the mountain peaks, You paint the evening sky with wonders.” The earth is called God's throne, and “from desert to the sea, all nature testifies Your splendor.” The chorus comes straight from the psalm, “Praise the Lord, sing His greatness, all creation, raise your voice,” and ends, “Let everything that has breath.”

The second verse turns to people. “You reached into the dust, in love Your Spirit breathed, You formed us in Your very likeness,” and the purpose is “to know Your wondrous works, to tell Your mighty deeds, to join the everlasting chorus.” The third calls on instruments and voices, “Let symphonies resound, let drums and choirs ring out,” and invites every nation to “bring its honors to the King.” The last chorus gathers the stars, creatures and landscape, “sing out forevermore.”

The psalm itself is Psalm 150:1-6. The dust and the breath of life are in Genesis 2:7, and the heavens declaring his glory is Psalm 19:1.
