Praise the LORD!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty 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 lute and harp!

Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD.
Praise the LORD!  (Psalm 150:1-6 NKJV)

Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!

Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!

Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!

Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the LORD,
 For He commanded and they were created. 

He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.

Praise the LORD from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;

Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;

Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl;

Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;

Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.

LET THEM PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD,
FOR HIS NAME ALONE IS EXALTED;
His glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

And He has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of all His saints–
Of the children of Israel,
A people near to Him.
PRAISE THE LORD!  (Psalm 148:1-14 NKJV)

I enCOURAGE you to praise the Lord.  If there was every any question, “Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.” (Psalm 145:3 NIV)  If you are not praising, you are not raising the name of the Lord.   Praise Him!  Raise Him up!
