Note from the composer (Rachel Sag):
There as so many settings of the popular musically themed psalm 150 that one could argue against writing yet another one. Most of the settings I am familiar with both in Hebrew, Latin and English are reasonably boppy, no doubt to represent communal musical offerings to God. I wanted my setting to be more representative of offering God glimpses of our inner music and harmonies to describe my belief that God resides within us as much as around us.

Psalm 150
Haleluyah! (Praise God)
Praise God in God's sanctuary; Praise God whose power the heavens proclaim.
Praise God for God's mighty acts Praise God for God's surpassing greatness.
Praise God with the shofar blast; Praise God with harp and lute.
Praise God with drum and dance; Praise God with strings and pipe.
Praise God with cymbals sounding; Praise God with cymbals resounding.
Let every soul praise God. Haleluyah! (Praise God)
