Call to Worship Psalm 150 Sean Huang

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.

MAY THE Lord answer you when you are in distress;

Zion.
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our
banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.

But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled
against the bow.
