Music Ensembles
Psalm 150 encourages us to praise the Lord according to His excellent greatness.
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 hath breath praise the Lord.
