Stalking the Creative Spirit: Psalms

Psalm 150

1. Praise the Lord! Praise God in His holiness; praise Him in the firmament of His strength. 2. Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His abundant greatness. 3. Praise Him with the call of the shofar; praise Him with harp and lyre. 4. Praise Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and flute. 5. Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with clanging cymbals. 6. Let every soul praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

Through Psalm 150, King David tells us to praise Hashem through music. Kids, grab your instruments, your voice, and your dancing feet.
