Psalm 150 – Song of praise
The last psalm of the Book of Psalms is a final and eschatological song of praise. The musicians and dancers of the Temple lead all of creation – every breathing being – in a splendid and all-encompassing song of hallelu-jah (Praise Yah). The psalm has inspired generations of composers and singers and we have gathered a few of these compositions from a variety of traditions.
