Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with resounding cymbals!
Let the loudest brass clash for His glory alone. Praise has beaten every other instrument; now she strikes the cymbals together with sounds both loud and high, awakening the sleepiest and startling the most indifferent, to proclaim the Lord's glories at last and fullest.
AI summary
We are called with utmost earnestness to praise God, a duty we naturally slack in and grow cold toward; thus Scripture presses it upon us, line upon line. Praise Him in His sanctuary where He reveals His glory and distributes His grace, and in the firmament where His power blazes forth.
AI summary
Commenting on Psalm 150:1-6
The Psalm urges us to praise God everywhere: in His sanctuary where His grace concentrates, and in the firmament where His power displays itself. We must observe both the place from which praise arises and the God to whom it ascends.
