to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.

and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

to you, O Lord, I will make music.

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!

tell of all his wondrous works!

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
—Psalm 149:1-5

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
—Psalm 150:1-6

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.
—Jeremiah 17:14
