Original Text

Alleluja!
Lobet den Herren in seinem Heiligtum,
lobet ihn in der Feste seiner Macht.
Lobet ihn in seinen Taten,
lobet ihn in seiner großen Herrlichkeit.
Lobet ihn mit Posaunen,
lobet ihn mit Psaltern und Harfen.
Lobet ihn mit Pauken und Reigen,
lobet ihn mit Saiten und Pfeifen.
Lobet ihn mit hellen Cymbalen,
lobet ihn mit wohlklingende Cymbalen.
Alles was Atem hat, lobe den Herrn.
Alleluja.

English Translation

Alleluja!
Praise the Lord in his holy place,
praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty deeds,
praise him for all his greatness.
Praise him with trumpet,
praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with tambourines and dancing,
praise him with strings and pipes.
Praise him with the clamor of cymbals,
Praise him with triumphant cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.
Alleluja!

Psalm 150
