The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 150:1-6
Hallelujah: our life a psalm. There is no distinctive truth taught here; each verse gives utterance to that which has been sung before (see especially Psalms 148:1-14 .). But the strain of the psalm is that of an earnest summons to make the praise of God the prevailing note of our life. Let life be charged and crowned with praise. 1. If regularly at the sanctuary, there in order that it may be offered elsewhere, everywhere. 2. If on the sabbath day, then that it may be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 150:3-4
Instruments to praise God with. Bishop Wordsworth notes that all kinds of faculty are engaged in the work of praise. The breath is employed in blowing the trumpet; the fingers are used in striking the strings of the psaltery and the harp; the whole hand is exerted in beating the timbrel; the feet move in the dance. The introduction of various musical instruments, as well as choirs of human voices, into the regular worship of the tabernacle and temple, is traceable to the time and probably... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 150:1
Praise ye the Lord - See the notes at Psalms 146:1.Praise God in his sanctuary - His holy place; the place where he dwells. The allusion here is, probably, to the temple, the place of his abode on earth.Praise him in the firmament of his power - The whole expression is equivalent to earth and heaven; Praise him on earth; praise him in heaven. The word rendered firmament is the same which is used in Genesis 1:6. It properly means an expanse - a thing spread out. The verb from which the word is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 150:2
Praise him for his mighty acts - See the notes at Psalms 145:4 : “One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.” The Hebrew word is the same. The reference is to that which displays the power of God; the things which manifest his omnipotence.Praise him according to his excellent greatness - Hebrew, the multitude of his greatness. Let the praise in elevation correspond with this; let it be such as shall properly express this; let all be employed that will... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 150:3
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet - Margin, cornet. In this verse and the verses following there is an allusion to the instruments of music which were commonly employed in Hebrew worship. The idea is, that all these - all that could properly express praise - should be used to celebrate the praises of God. Each one, with its own distinct note, and all combined in harmony, should be employed for this purpose. Most of these instruments, and many more, are now combined in the organ, where... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 150:1
Places to praise God in. "This psalm is a rapture. The poet-prophet is full of inspiration and enthusiasm." Lamartine says, "In this closing psalm we see the almost inarticulate enthusiasm of the lyric poet; so rapidly do the words press to his lips, floating upwards towards God, their Source, like the smoke of a great fire of the soul wafted by the tempest." "In former times, when the casting of church-bells was more of a religious ceremony, this psalm was chanted by the brethren of the... read more
